LD - Digest - help!



Does anyone know if the LD Digests are working correctly?  It's as if the formatting is all lost.

Help! (sent privately, if at all - as I won't be able to read it here (on LD) - LOL :-)

One cool thing about its LCD display is that<br> &gt; it shows in large full screen numbers what patch I happen to be on and it<br> &gt; has a screen saver mode. In its earlier version the characters where smaller<br> &gt; and less easy to see from a distance, This is great for my middle age<br> &gt; peepers. Its been a work horse since I got it, its built like a tank, its<br> &gt; switches have fast response and are quieter than most , though I&#39;m intrigued<br> &gt; by Andy&#39;s idea of putting some foam on the inside to dampen the acoustic<br> &gt; chamber aspect of the chassis itself, to see if i can minimize mechanical<br> &gt; noise even further. If it weren&#39;t for the fact that the original  LCD screen<br> &gt; started to dim, I might have never considered the version 2 firmware upgrade<br> &gt; but I&#39;m glad Xavier convinced me to do it. He made a great piece of gear<br> &gt; even better. Its never failed me 5 years of almost  daily use.  If I ever<br> &gt; move to a lap top this will easily make the transition vis its USB port.<br> &gt;  Since the LG also has a second pair of midi ins and outs, I have on<br> &gt; occasion  been using an old roland FC-50 midi pedal as a remote to either<br> &gt; add more preset switches  to control more parameters on my looperlative, or<br> &gt; use a slightly quieter remote switch in critical open mic recording<br> &gt; situations. The Roland pedal switches like this are about as quiet as they<br> &gt; come mechanical noise-wise but do become creaky sounding with wear and tear,<br> &gt; The FCB&#39;s switches are a little noisier still to my ears with even more wear<br> &gt; related issues, though as has been pointed out before, its possible to<br> &gt; trigger the Gordius switches with a very light touch and create almost no<br> &gt; mechanical noise.<br> &gt; Bill<br> &gt;<br> &gt;<br> <br> </div></div><br></blockquote></div><br>
