rc50 fade question

[Paul Mimlitsch <pmimlitsch@mac.com>]

Greetings.  Picked up an RC50 and was glad to see that: 1) you can  
unsync everything and run 3 simultaneous loops ("phrases"- each w/  
infinite layers) all of different lengths and 2) there was a fade out  
option (also fade in) that could be set up independantly per phrase.   
Was wondering how to get into and tweak the time of the fade  
function.  The manual gives a factory default setting of 50 within a  
possible range of 0 - 100.  The 50 setting works well (not like the  
"instantaneous" fade of the 20xl) but would like to increase the  
setting.  Also, hows do I tell what version of the OS is on the  
machine - not sure if I need the upgrade?  Thanks. - Paul
PS: a couple recent imrprov. snippetts (pre - rc50) at << http://

streets of Evergreen and "Settling In", a duo with flute player Meg  
York, recorded at a house concert.
