I can imagine it's even more difficult with more band members though - more humans to commit human error - so best of luck!

If you've ever played live with a very carefully-programmed drum machine and experienced the car crash which results when the humans mess up and the drum machine carries merrily on with the song, unaware that the middle 8 is now two bars longer than planned, you will know exactly how bad it can be...

Oh yes, I've used many a drum machine, but I hesitate to introduce one into the band!

messing about with the timing. The only thing that it didn't like was 3/4 timing but we'll try that again and see if we can find a way around that. I agree it's pricey but based on first impressions it was worth the money for me. Also means I've got a Ditto x4 for sale if anyone is looking for one.

Howdy, Stranger!
