Re: dancing loops
Not exactly sure how the DBeam is laid out on the Handsonic, but on the
505 I can keep the value at a particular spot by sswitching the mode and
then turning the controller off. The MC-505 has the on/off button for the
DBeam, and a button which cycles through three modes from the front panel.
so I'll first find the position I want, and then press the mode button,
followed by the on/off button to disengage the controller. -Best of
luck...
