Boss RC-50 & RC-20XL fade function

Only speculation, but I suspect that the RC-50 will only allow a loop to fade-out over the course of one loop cycle; not much use when you are using short loops. Timed fades would be much more useful. Anyone know how the fade function is implemented in the Bosss RC-20XL?
 
I have the original RC-20, which doesn't have the fade function.  I use the virtual pedal in my Boss GT-8 (RC-20 connected to the GT-8's send & return jacks) - to trigger slow fades. The GT-8 virtual pedal is set to slowly fade the GT-8 effects return; a workaround, if you have a GT-8 ;) ....but not ideal.
 
Auto fades are much smoother (for me) than manual/vol pedal fades. Of course feedback would solve all these issues!
