RE: RC-20 Abrupt Loops

["lol c" <testtubemicro@hotmail.com>]

Hi there all, sorry for long absense, hotmail locked me out for a while.

if Im reading between the lines correctly, what I think you are talking 
about is theclipped sort of sound you get at the loop point when youare 
playing a sustained note etc (anything abmient) , this is caused by the 
way 
the RC-20 goes from Record to Play rather then Record to oversdub ( which 
would allow a smoother transition) if this is the problem that you are 
talking about, try recording a blank loop the legnth you need the tap 
record 
again to go into play followed by record once more to go into overdub 
(this 
can only be armed after allowing the recording to play for half a second 
or 
so) now when you put down the textures they will be blending smoothly as 
recording will continue over the loop point.

Hope this help
