is your "Local Control Off" in the Roland GR20 ??

[christopherwillits]

@umbruno not sure, i don't use the gr-20 anymore.

[electorqwerty]

I use this a lot.. im wondering have you checked out the pitch to midi converters? or can you help with the topic? so we dont depend on the gr 20 for this sort of stuff

[christopherwillits]

@electorqwerty i'm using the sonuus g2m. so great. all i needed from the gr-20 and a fraction of the size/weight.

Thanks for putting these vids up! I've been thinking about how to run loops in Live 8 ever since it launched. The 1st video was a huge help. Cheers

@gdomusic great. more to come.

using the sonuus G2M now. much smaller and does about the same thing.
