Re: Drifting loops



*WARNING* That's what Line6 would like you to believe, but it's been 
discovered by
many on this list that the Line6 Delay Pro's loops *DO NOT* synch to MIDI. 
 I've
also heard that the regular synched delay SUCKS as well.  If you're 
looking for a
delay to synch to MIDI (cheaply) check out the Lexicon MPX100, 500 and 1.  
(none
of these could be concidered loopers though)
