Hello Rang loopers - do any of you have firmware Version 3.4 2014, Sep - aka E156_fw134.mid for the Boomerang Phrase Sampler III?
Also, do any of you by chance have any unofficial, beta or other quirky firmware versions you could upload and share?
Particularly I remember there was once a version that didn't have the quick fade in, but no fade in, when recording a loop - which for some instances was quite nice, as opposed to how it is now, where that fade in makes an obvious dip in the volume, which is kind of not so cool if one wants to retain whatever information was added at that fade in time - ie you want a click, but there's no click because the loop is force faded in as per the rule of the firmware....Now, one of the issues was, Mike decided early on that he wanted to keep the auto-fade in there, and not offer the alternative
Not all MIDI sync and other implementations had been fully made, by the time the non-fade in approach was abandoned.
- but I'm hoping maybe one of you have other firmware (test) versions stored or revised/modded/alterned versions that may have the specific functionality I'm looking for:
I would personally love to have a firmware that does not have fade-in, but still retains all the MIDI sync, start, stop, side car and brother sync and other functionality, whilst retaining the old "press before the bar ends" to sync approach, as opposed to how it is now: pres directly at the beat you want to the loop to sync to (this latter approach means I often don't "make it" in time, and thus create the loop too late, so I would much rather have the old functionality back, where one had plenty of time to press the button to initiate ie prepare to record once the bar was over and start recording on 1 while your feet are planted solid on the ground :)
I hope this made sense to a few of you...if so, let's talk :)
Best Regards
