Re: BOSS RC-50 impressions

I totally agree, in a sense fade would be better than
feedback considering how feedback works on most
loopers with old loop material getting a % softer with
each pass of the loop instead of a gradual decrease
like a timed fade could be.

Here's the question, how does the RC-50 behave in
terms of going from patch to patch while synced to a
MIDI clock?  Is it somewhat seamless?  Can you cue up
another patch to start at the endpoint of your current
patch?  If it did it would make this machine quite the
mf'er.
