RE: Unidentified sub actually MIDI peds

If i had all the items that you put out here Dennis, i would do that
comparison TONIGHT.  But, alas, i don't even have a sound-worthy computer
just yet (spent my $$ on a house and car this year), so that will have to
wait.  In the meantime, its working for me, either for oblong loops or
straight-time ones.  Perhaps, i have just learned to work with the delay, 
if
there is one and adjust my timing to make it work?

Anywho, once i get the uber-PC, i will check the comparison, because i now
HAVE to know.

cheers,
jim.

I'd love to see some hard data on the delay.  You up for some 
experimenting,
Jim?

Here's my suggestion (straight-forward but probably better ways of doing
this): Put the MFC-10 beside another MIDI pedal.  (In my case, I'd probably
use a EDP EFC-7 and configure the EDP to send MIDI note-on/off.)  Place the
pedals so you can press them reasonably simultaneously.  Connect the MIDI
outputs of both to a computer interface (possibly through a merge box).  
Use
a MIDI monitor like MIDI-OX to capture the MIDI messages with timestamps so
we can accurately measure any time delay.

I volunteer to collect data, but somebody will have to loan me an MFC-10.
