Are you talking about the similarly named Yamaha MFC-10 midi pedal? That one is well known to have a latency like you describe, rendering it fairly useless. But the Digitech PMC-10 didn't have such a problem, at least not in my experience. Andre LaFosse uses the digitech PMC-10 to do his fast action looping, and I doubt he would be able to navigate a 100ms latency and do all that crazy fast stuff! >It always amazed me that people who make midi controllers didn't ever >make a >more robust copy of a PMC-10...the closest we have today might be the >FCB1010 with the unofficial firmware, but it still isn't close. >I mean, most controllers only will send limited CC messages over limited >channels. It is baffling. I think it would be so much simpler to design a midi controller that can send any midi command. Most of them assume their customers are morons, and therefore must be saved from themselves. So they introduce all sorts of limitations in order to "simplify" the user interface. In the process they usually make it more confusing and harder to use. kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@loopers-delight.com | http://www.loopers-delight.com
