Good for you. I seem to have trouble assimilating all the sheer volume of
this list.

I  don't recall asking this particular question because I only just 
realized
that limitation.

But, that's OK. I've figured this out on my own.

To respond to Gary's answer to my question:

Using song select isn't an option because the DR-770 doesn't recognize
incoming song select and song position messages if the clock is set to INT,
which is what I need if I'm going to slave the repeater from the 770's
clock.

HOWEVER, there IS a cheaper solution to this so it seems. Musicians Friend
has a MIDI mapper box from Midi Solutions. Here's the web page for it:

http://www.midisolutions.com/prodmap.htm

Doesn't look like it will do the song select message, but I think I can
assign patterns to pads of the 770 and I can send a note on to trigger 
that.
For that solution though I should go back to the FCB1010, but then I loose
the alpa display. Tradeoffs, tradeoffs.

So Mark, go take a shit and read  YOUR manuals!  :)
