Re: proposal for a new thread -- Loop Tools - Survey Results - Sept 1997



Rick -

Nice topic, would you like to tally up all the results so we can see what
peopel in 2003 are using.

I ran a similar poll a few years back (Sept. 1997).  Here are the results
from that one.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
A questionnaire was very quickly conceived on the morning of Thursday 10th
September.  The study consisted of 12 questions - eight Yes/No and four
open-ended measures.

Appendix I

Q5a. Please list the other Loopers you own?
Note: 43 people of the Total Sample of 48 have some kind of looping tool

An open-ended question asked respondents to list the looping devices they
currently own.  The table below summarizes results.

As can be seen, the Lexicon company dominates the Looping device market 
with
52.8% of all units sold.  Looking at the detailed results presented in
Appendix I, it can be seen the JamMan unit has most successfully penetrated
this market, accounting for 30.3% of all units sold - twice the success of
the EDP.

Taken together, the Lexicon JamMan, Lexicon Vortex and Oberheim EDP account
for 60.6% of looping devices sold.

Why doesn't everyone send in which loopers they use live (or in the studio)
and let's see what the demographic actually is on this list.

Let's keep it simple.   as a matter of fact I'll start it off with the next
post.
