That's too bad. I was getting really excited about the new unit, as it satisfies most of my looping requirements (loop extend, multiple loops, reverse, etc), which I've revealed as rather basic in past posts. But still, autofade is cool, and so is reverse, but both accessible via the same button (by some manual programming I guess), would be a major downfall. ...still waiting for that Mobius in a floor unit concept to come to fruition. :) Call it Homunculus.
