hi Andy .good to hear from you > 3. CPU and audio CODEC are now under tin-plated brass screening cans to > minimise RF emissions, (bring them down to CE-approval levels). > 4. PCB now has 9 separate grounding/fixing points to the chassis. > Beigeface has 5 fixing points to the chassis, only one of these was a > ground point. > 5. The mains input socket is now a large screened filtered inlet.

A couple of times I've had wierd problems with the 2 Beige EDPs together, with high frequency noise recorded into the loop. I suspect this is an RF emmission or earthing problem, as it was solved by rearranging the mains plugs at random. I also had the edps go out of sync occaisionally, but haven't played enough to be sure that probem is fixed as well. > 9. Loop4 software fitted as standard. A few of the Beige edps seem to have a problem with Loop4. If the edp reboots when the bro-sync jack is shorted out the problem is present. > 14.

I'll check with Clive @ Gibson and > confirm this). yes, Loop4 needs a MIDI controller to fully exploit all the features. A lot of people won't need the FC-7 Are you going to do special deals for a pair of EDPs? > 15.

(just an opinion mind) Thanks Andy, it's really nice to have the opportunity for user feedback. andy butler
