Some of you may be able to relate&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t remember exactly how it came about, but I think a customer called about an issue where the RC-30 wouldn&#8217;t get the timing right if you ended a recording by hitting STOP instead of Play or Dub. I tested this and verified that yes, something odd is going on here and it&#8217;s causing loops to record a fraction longer than normal.<\/p>\n<p>I started the process of sending a bug-report which basically means I sent an email to the Product Manager describing the issue. He is the guy who actually communicates with the engineers in Japan and he passed it on. A day or two later we hear back that there was no bug, we were just using it wrong!<\/p>\n<p>Now, knowing how this machine works is my job so I had read the manual front-to-back, trying all the functions it described. Plus I answered tons of calls and emails on this thing and previous loopers like it, but I have never encountered a issue where a looper behaved this way.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know how the message to Japan was worded (maybe it had a tone of extreme urgency and panic?), but it was conveyed to me that this sequence of events embarrassed us in the eyes of Japan because we &#8211; AKA me &#8211; sent a bug-report that just ended up showing that we didn&#8217;t know how our own product worked.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I missed something that wasn&#8217;t in the manual called Simple Pedal Mode. This feature was printed on a single loose sheet of paper that came in the box with the RC-30. They called it an &#8220;addendum&#8221; to the manual because by the time the books had all been printed, they either added the feature later or forgot to include it in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>To rectify ourselves in the eyes of Japan, I was to send them a video showing the feature proving that I understood how it worked.&nbsp; This is that video. ^_^<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This video has an interesting back-story where I learned a few lessons about corporations and politics.
