Re: AW: CFC Speeds for Repeater

[Tom Griesgraber <tom@thossounds.com>]

Hi Dan,

Are you saying you can drag loops from the computer to the CFC with no 
problem?  Is that pre-existing repeater loops, or have you been able to 
load audio files in somehow?  I've been under the impression that it 
was an easy thing to copy loops off of Repeater CFCs, but that it was 
basically impossible to say take wav files from Pro Tools, load them 
onto a Repeater CFC and have it recognize them.  I remember something 
somewhere about how such files would have to exactly replace existing 
Repeater files or something. (???)
