Hello Brian, I'm curious about how well, if at all, the Boomeran III can midi sync with a drum machine or other device. I use the Gibson Echoplex and Lexicon Jamman primarily because I require the midi in/out for midi sync with my other machines. I suppose I can look on the website for this info. I believe the Boss RC-50 also has midi sync but it doesn't work well according reports. Maybe that's changed although off topic I know. Congrats on your new Boomerang III!
