Re:Re: FlyLooper & market potential





How bout this:

For those of us that already own midi controllers (including people who 
might want to control loops from a keyboard), I will make this program 
midi 
controller friendly.

For anyone who doesn't already own a midi controller ... (aka joe average 
guitar player) there will be an optional USB device that will also work 
with 
the program (retailing at about the same price as the FCB1010, say).  This 
device might include a few extra bells and whistles that the midi 
controller 
doesn't have, but nothing crucial (some effects controls).

That seems like a copacetic situation, no?

Since this thread is getting older .. I want to reiterate, that this is 
not 
something I hope to have working someday ... it's already out there 
(www.flyloops.com).  There will be a downloadable beta version soon (once 
I 
get midi controllers working).
