Re: RC-50 Sync Issues...

[midifriedchicken@comcast.net]

Improvements I would love to see:

Midi Sync, Job 1. Get that and all others are simply icing on the cake.

In Multi-Mode, auto start and stop on the loops. I hate hitting the button twice.

Guide Track to headphones only.

MP3 support. Wavs can take up to much memory. I know Im reaching on that one.

Im sure theres more.

 

Thanks

MFC
