[QUOTE="Scott Bolt, post: 106685, member: 3950"] Re: X32 Rack Review Got it Dan! Thanks. The next step today was MIDI scene recall. [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial]I got out my trusty Behringer FCB1010 that I purchased years and years ago to do some fancy MIDI control of the band that I later found I didn't need, and didn't have time in a gig to do anyway.
