Mark Indeed, theLooperlative does, from all appearances, sound like the new gold standard of looperistical bliss. Just wondering about one of the points that you made Mark. I know that the RC-20XL has no MIDI sync. But as I'm to understand it, the new RC-50 has sync, unless I am reading the information wrong. Am I not understanding the information as it's presented? It appears that it has a built in drum machine and clock synching capabilities. Just wondering. I am a pretty inexperienced looper and may not understand the capabilities correctly. I am holding out for an EDP myself, but may be forced into considering the RC-50 for monetary considerations. Which is correct?
