I don't remember, but it is very simple because I usually figure it out each time I connect my rack devices. One issue is that the EDP midi out and midi through works differently for midi clock syncing. I think it was something with song start or the EDP mute function. Anyway, I like my set-up to stop the repeater when when I mute the EDP so I can make lead instrument breaks and kick in all loops on the following beat no 1. If it doesn't work like I want with the midi out I just move the midi cable to the midi through and vice versa ;-) > Ive also come across posts telling of the bad midi spread sheet or > progamming my boar, does anyone have the correct version? Yes, I think this is the midi prgr ch for the repeater's record switch. In real life it's one entity off, higher or lower, compared to what is given by the manual. Be sure to download the pdf updates to the manual from the Electrixpro site. > I am currantly sending Notes so control te edp so I figure if I use the > other type for contoling the repeater i will avoid any conflicts? You'll have to. The repeater can't be controlled by midi note numbers (see midi spec's). But there is one very cool feature that is working with midi note numbers and that is if you have a loop going in the repeater and push the pitch button and select one track while sending midi notes. What happens then is that the repeater starts to handle that track "as a sampler", pitch shifting it according to the midi notes you play. Only one track of the loop is affected and the machine does the correct time stretching to keep the groove and loop length intact. This is also working for a track in recording mode. I use to play with this with a midi guitar, recording the guitar audio output into the repeater and at the same time having the generated midi note data pitch the loop. It can feel frustrating for the brain in a similar way that you feel as a child when trying to play the piano with both hands and think two melodies at the same time. Just try it out, it's a very funny game ;-) Another good advice for starting out is that feedback is handled differently by the RPTR. While the EDP adapts to the feedback setting all the time the RPTR only does with the tracks that are in recording mode. So as for setting up your FCB1010, it's a good idea to have the same button you use for selecting a certain track also arming one of the expression pedals to control the feedback for the same track.
