Roland Space Echo

[dave solursh]

I have a 501, and I think It needs to be in "sound on Sound" mode, though I
don't have it infront of me right now.  I know that it also depends on the
repeat rate as well as the echo function.  Sometimes you must really play
around with it.  But I hink the Sound on sound is the key, if this is a
function of the 201.  Good luck, DAve
