I had my 16 second digital delay modified, so now I can set the tempo with two presses of the foot-pedal. This was very crucial, but it's not something other looping pedals can't do. The reason I went with the 16 sec (besides the fact that i got it for really cheap from a friend) was for the MIDI out. The modified looper let's you over-ride the preset tempo built into the machine and create your own tempo, but the original tempo is still sent out through the MIDI out. The internal clock doesn't change even if you create a new tempo. I need the new tempo that I set to go to the MIDI out, or else the two tempos will be different and it will sound like poo. I experimented with it a lot and found that if I have the drum machine playing (tempo controlled by the MIDI out of the pedal) and I record a loop at a different tempo, the drum machine will jump to a faster or slower speed. Not to the speed I'm playing, but it shows that the MIDI speed is altered for some reason. This leads me to believe there is some way to sync the MIDI out with the newly-set tempo. The reason I went through all of this, was to not have to buy a more expensive looper with MIDI, but if this can't be fixed, I've wasted my time and money. But maybe I can sell the thing on eBay for more than I paid.
