Re: TimeFactor

Hi Toby,

I have very recently got the TimeFactor and only given a looper a quick 
try 
out. Since your email, I've been trying it properly. And yes, I get the 
glitch at the end(or start) of a loop only when a note/phrase is 
played/held 
over the start point. And Yes, I agree this is anoying. I also have an 
RC20XL which is far worse though for this, but, as Stephen Scott suggested 
some while ago, it is improved by creating an empty loop first before 
playing into it. I am also anoyed by this, but have found the only way of 
getting an actual glitch-free start with a drone for example is to use a 
long delay running at 100% feedback. I wonder what the EDP is like for 
this? 
On my Fostex D824 multitrack, when editing, I get no glitch, sure, there 
might be a jump in timbra or in note, but no click.

I have enough looping functions to make the TF worth having and for the 
delays, I'm completely pleased with it. I'm going to try the V2.1 software 
(Beta) update, see if that does anything to fix the looper issue.

Ian.
