thanks fer yer help lady! - i think ive seen you with the ground control in some you tube videos and figured you'ld be the only one to respond =D
i got frusterated and called voodoolab
i thought i had the most current software ( 2.3) but apparently they have a version (2.5) that requires a new chip to be installed
2.3 has a redundant message filter which will eliminate the same midi message if its sent back to back by 2 different buttons - so allthough i was able to use the same button to send a midi message twice (like tap tempo), when i used 2 different buttons to send the same message it ignored them untill you hit the same button twice
im still waiting on a call back to confirm this, but im gonna keep my fingers crossed and hope the tech is right- i love the groundcontrol - perfect size, lovely lcd - was hating the thought of settling for something else
if only i could get it to send the erase loop command to my repeaters, i would be a happy camper - ive never figured out how to send a CC # AND value on it, and im not sure if its even possible - my understanding is that you can only send on or off with the CC messages - not a particular value, but i may be off my rocker-
good thing i can play piano with one hand =D
thanks for your help

p.s. before i read that article, i had never heard of acrade fire before - i spent the entire day with my jaw dropped as i watched all their videos - looks like an incredible family of musicians
peace, love and applesauce

do you think this might be your problem?
if you're running the latest version of the repeater software, a second press of "record" (or PC message 4?) closes the loop but puts you into automatic overdub. then the third press stops overdubbbing.
you can turn this feature off in the utility menu, and it will stay off until you turn it back on.
(to access the utility menu press and hold STOP and press COPY. turn the left knob to get to the menu item that says 'Rec-Odub')

ive had it for awhile but just ran into a software flaw, - im hoping for a workaround or maybe a new product
they 're running version 2.3 and heres my problemo
lets say button number 1 is set to midi message REC
and button number 2 is also set to midi message REC
...when i press button #1 - repeater goes into Record
...when i press button #2 - nothing happens - it doesnt recognize the midi command
....if i press button #2 again, it will recognize the command and end the REC mode
so why the hell does it take 2 button presses to send the message? if the 2 buttons are 2 different midi messages, there are no problems....but when the same message is designated to 2 buttons, it takes 2 presses of the same button to send the midi message...freakin weird
if i never press the same button twice, i can go back and forth from hitting button #1 and button #2 and never have the repeater recognize the 2nd MIDI command
this is also how my LP1 responds
dunno if theres a workaround - was just hoping someone else could verify this or reccomend a midi foot controller that does not work like this
muchas gracias
