Hi all

If you normally lug around any 19” rack gear you might want to consider something like this that I have just bought.
Cost £169 in uk from DV 247 also avl on amazon etc.
This is a 1u 19” rack digital Audio recorder records direct to SD card or usb stick,
I use this for external rendering of my biab when I am using external synths or my Yamaha Clavinover .
You could use this to play your backing tracks direct from SD or USB sorted into sets as continues play of a folder is allowed be it a hidden command (there are a few of them)
