Yes... I'm sorry the guy chose such a 'karaoke' (or let's be kind and call it 'remix'!) style loop. One can imagine SO many truly musical uses for these loop features, and this guy trots out Gangnam Style! Cliche...

I noticed the 'one loop at a time' limitation, but given that there are 7 of them available, you could always think of it as '4 loops and 3 combinations' if you mixed the loops together in an audio editor (very easy to do) in different combinations. Yes, not QUITE as good as having four loops you could layer, but closer than you realize.

I still hope that we can get some pressure put on Roland to allow the FC-7 to trigger them. One hates to have ponied up for a 76, then have the top 7 keys (more like 9 or 10, because you really don't want to be playing anywhere NEAR where you might accidentally hit a loop key!) unavailable for your RH sound...

This could be a serious mistake for sure!! instead of keys there certainly as Diki says be a pedal Trigger or even on deck loop BUTTONS to allow a full playing 76 keys.

Nothing new here...Roland used sequences played back on the XP80 keys...No one complained then...

Besides, the only folks that will miss a few keys are the 76 key fans..you 61 'ers have nothing to worry about..

Audya has this. You first press a button to enable the keys to trigger loops. If you don't put it in that mode, you can use the keys as normal.

It's exactly the same with BK9.

Too late to add audio pad buttons to the BK9! Plus that ups the cost.

But the FC-7 is perfect as an alternative to triggering them.

7 loops, 7 switches on the FC-7... coincidence? You be the judge!
