Re: First of possibly many stupid questions



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?

Respectfully, 

Todd
