Re: Boomerang 3

Hi,
        The light bulb just went off on this issue of fade outs. The III 
has an actual Fade function where you set 
the time for the fade. The III can also fade loops by increasing the decay 
rate when stacking.

        I believe this is achieved on the 2880 using an increased decay 
rate - the rate at which earlier parts are 
attenuated when adding new material. The III can also function this way.

        The III can play 4 stereo loops simultaneously.

        Yes, the III records in true stereo when connected as you say, L 
and R in & L and R out.
