Hello Peter

Thank You for your answer and once again I apologise if I sounded
pushy but...I had also tryed the tech support with no success

RED is the name of a company that makes the beat extractor wich is
a little machine that converts phono audio signal (repetitive beats)
into a midi signal.
RED Midi signal allows an MC-303 (groovebox) to sync, does it give
an idea about what type of Midi signal I'm dealing with?
(my next step is a mail to RED tech support)

My question about unlimented tracks was.....redundant!


Yes, you've been most helpfull,

Thank you very much for your time
