Re: Please lets all sit together now and define what we do!



  Mark, since I too, just mentioned this in my last post, personally, I use
the MC-505 which can go in and out of record on the fly while a pattern is
playing, so I simply turn off the metronome completely, and play with the
music.  I also use this feature to pitch loops in the Repeater.
