Hi Steven- It will be a lot easier for people to answer these questions for you if you can help us understand more about you. How you might use the Echoplex or any other looper depends a lot on you, that is why there are no stock answers for your questions. What do you wish to do with loops? What kind of music do you play? How do you play it and how do you see loops fitting into that? What instrument do you play, if any? What other gear are you using? What need are you trying to fill by getting a looper? The more you can answer these questions the more others can help you. (and probably you will gain a better understanding of yourself in the process.) Looping is not a genre of music or something only done by one type of musician, it is just a tool and a musical approach used by many different musicians with many different needs, in all styles of music. Saying you are a looper doesn't really tell us that much about you. We find customers of the EDP are all over the map, from regular blues musicians to electronic dance music producers to ambient players to wildly experimental types to whatever. It is really varied. If you just tell us that you have an EDP we can't tell if you are an old skool rapper trying to bring your human beat box routine into a live drum and bass context or a Fripp wannabe trying to make droney guitar layers into a soundscape. The "right" answer for one might be totally wrong for the other. kim At 09:22 PM 7/8/2002, M.
