Re: Revolution vs 777 info....

2005-03-31 by finite_sf

I love the idea of a remix on the fly... I know that the rs7000 has a
remix, and so does the Rev. I am getting the Rev, because of this
feature, and hope to use it with my MD. Also, I have to say its going
to be fun to sequence my Pro-One, or a SH-101 via the Rev's sequencer,
and remix. I also love the fact that it has MIDI -> CV/Gate.
