Also is there any progress on >a > software update for the Boomerang for better sampling rate? Thanks! > Ed Hi Ed, It's true. It's true. The Rang talks drawkcab. Start in idle mode and turn off the through signal with the THRU MUTE switch. Press REVERSE. Then press RECORD twice, choosing a loop length - about a measure is suggested. The Rang responds by turning on the REVERSE, PLAY, and RECORD LED's. It then records a measure of sound and plays it backwards while recording more; this process continues indefinitely. You are playing a measure ahead of what the audience hears, but they hear only reverse lead. Ah, software version 2. It's coming, but slowly. You won't catch me quoting any dates, but hopefully it won't be too long. We do anticipate increasing the sample rate by about 20-30 percent. We will send up flares when it's ready, rest assured.
