RE: Need your input on the Rang III

Hi Kris,

For myself, feedback control is more important than loop output volume.

Subject: Need your input on the Rang III

Hello all,

Please send me your input on what you consider the top 10 parameters that 
an

expression pedal can be used to tweak in realtime in a floor looper. 
Boomerang has asked me this question, and I'd like to get a good set of 
responses to consolidate into an answer for Mike.

We have taken so long to release a new looper and want to get into players 
hands as soon as possible, so MIDI, in any form, may not make it into the 
initial release. However the pedal does have all the hardware in place. 
Initially it'll be used to synch two Rang(TM) IIIs.
The III has an expression pedal jack and it'll be set to control loop 
playback volume at the factory. We anticipate having the ability to 
control 
other parameters as well. What are the top 10 parameters that loopers want 
to tweak in realtime?
