Re: Is there a timing quantizer available?

[brian carabee <compguy1@optonline.net>]

Actually, Peter, I am talking about the notes I'm playing. I've been
fantasizing about a stomp box that will take the signal from the guitar,
quantize the timing to within, say, a 32nd, and then send it to the
Boomerang. Or now that I think of it, I guess it would work at the end of
the chain, too.

The 'Rang has no facility for timing, so what you play is what you get. I'm
asking about quantizing because although my timing is pretty good, if I 
make
one mistake there is no undo feature.

Thanks for writing, though. I'm investigating the units you mentioned.

Anyone else with an idea?

Brian
