I may be misremembering but as I recall one of the really nice things about brother sync on the EDP was that it synchronized loop length but not necessarily start point — or if it synchronized start point it did so somewhat independent of recording. I could be wrong about this but I know a lot of the behaviors on the EDP could operate in synchronized mode but did so without forcing one to wait for loop boundaries — unless one wanted to. That was one of my favorite features of the EDP and something I miss on the Rang when working in Sync mode. But it's been a while since I've used my EDPs since I went on an "avoid rackmount hardware" kick a while ago, so I may be misremembering exactly what they allowed and didn't allow.

Given that this really has this Rang protocol has the same features as the EDP's original Brother Sync. Good thing in my opinion is that you don't have to decide in advance which player shall take the sync master role and which one shall be the sync slave - like you have to do if going with a MIDI Clock system. ...

From a user point of view I mean (we can definitely see the interest for any hard/software maker)?

It's free, of course, and can be easily downloaded, but makes no sense to do so unless you have more than one III. This new software, to be dubbed V3.1 when released, has only one new feature, this "brother sync" concept. You'll need MIDI cables connecting the IIIs. I was testing with 3 Rang(TM) IIIs and had some impressive results: 12 loops could be started and stopped and played together. If you're interested, send me an email and I'll reply with 2 attached files: .mid software file (downloaded to the III with a MIDI file player) and a .doc file describing the software. Thanks.
