Some companies implemented sample dump in strange ways. (the k2000, for instance, added some new parameters that you have to supply or it don't work) Maybe we can find a workaround for you or at least make sure your sampler is supported when that part of the software is updated. >Usually when I hear people talking about "saving" something they are >refering to static RAM where you turn off the unit and it stays in >memory until you intentionally erase it.

The quantity of memory we are talking about makes this sort of storage method very expensive. Especially 3-4 years ago when the echoplex was being designed. If we had added such a feature at the time, nobody could have afforded it. Now, flash memory is finally getting cheaper, but then people want more memory. So the problem doesn't go away. SCSI would be the best, but it's still not very cheap in low volumes, and you would still have to buy a disk. (and we would have to design some kind of file structure and disk os, and figure out how to control it from the interface, which would take a while) So the question is, how much is something like that worth to you? >> BTW, their toll free number is 800 786 7585 > >FWIW I called them yesterday and they said they are backordered on the >pedals just liek everyone else.

Didn't get a price on that >(they wanted $110 for the pedal alone). You can make a pedal if you like, directions are on the web page. It's pretty easy. Also, there are jacks on the back for using ordinary momentary switch type pedals to control Record and Overdub, which might be enough until the pedals are available again. kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@annihilist.com | http://www.annihilist.com/loop/loop.html http://www.annihilist.com/ | Loopers-Delight-request@annihilist.com
