Re: Who's using what...LP1 backup

["Andy Owens" <andy@1800dialword.com>]

Wow, upload/download loops would be cool for the LP1, thanks for that info 
Andy. I have an old alesis drum machine I like because I can send midi 
start stop to it in a command string that starts recording a loop at the 
same time, but if you could upload several loops for a starting rhythm 
that would be cool. 

I replaced the alesis with a Simmons drum pad surface but ridiculously it 
has no midi start/stop so cant use it the same but I like the pad surface. 

I really need a non laptop drum machine option, maybe some of yall have 
suggestions. I bought an MPC but to clunky to program for my tastes, but 
anxious to wirk it in someday. 

So, I have heard good and bad about Softstep in here, what is the 
concensus?
