  Mark, out of curiocity, what functions on the Repeater do you control
with the MC-307?  I'm needing to control which loop is played, and fading.
So I want to switch loops at different times during a sequence, and then
fade out at the end.  Is this possible with the MC-307?  -Thanks 
bunches...  

Smiles,
