Hey,

Thanks for your reply. To clear things up, the Boss BR-1180CD is a DAW(Digital Audio Workstation). It basically does what my computer would do if it had the memory. It is a recorder, but not a sequencer, which is why I bought the RM1x. So my studio works fine with the hardware the way it is, with the Edirol keyboard controller hooked up to the RM1x and creating the music in there, and then exporting it out onto the BR-1180 to be recorded, stored, mastered, and eventually burned onto a cd.
But I also have a not-so-powerful laptop with FruityLoops on it. I can us the Edirol to control Fruity also. I found out that the RM1x can be slaved to FruityLoops with Fruity as the master, but does this mean that the song will be recorded in Fruity or the RM1x? I am new to all of this, so I am unfamiliar with the whole slave and master thing. I am guessing that the sound will be recorded in Fruity. If so, is it possible to export the song off of my laptop through the USB port and onto the BR-1180? See what I mean?
Thanks for your help! :)
