It's also possible that you'd get the rhythm spot on,
but the algorithm would misinterpret your playing
and make a bad loop.

If you're serious about looping you'll soon learn
accuracy (well, you won't if you're using quantise).

Note: Roland/Boss have presumably picked up the term
'Quantise' from some of the top of the line loopers,
however they use the term differently.

The famous glitch fixed with a firmware update,
at least it's fixed for the first loop you record 
where it's most noticeable.

As yet we know very little about the RC-300, 
until the manual's available and until find out whether it
actually *does* the claimed features. 


Why not the Rang then?

Also check out the Vox VDL-1
2 synced loops, one a multiple of the other,
Undo/Redo on both loops,
and a nice low price.
