with the moment you start recording, you can choose whether you will
be synced or not (to do the free stuff).

Good points... I'll certainly use them for my looping strategies!
Thanks...

can start his recording while the first is still recording. And it
works free like multiply with rounding and green counter! No
quantizing is necessary! You may choose it though, especially when
playing straight drum machine or sequencer stuff. I dont like it ;-)

So is this the same s/w update that Kim also speaks of with double
speed/half speed options? And what is "green counter"?

And do you have any feel for when Gibson and Trace Elliott might make
new EDP's available? I'm still really steamed that I'm not able to
play in stereo yet...
