Re:Re: FlyLooper & market potential



I'd say that's an excellent strategy.  As much as I
rely on my FCB1010, I don't love it, and I moved to a
floor guitar effects processor/amp modeler because it
gave me a degree of control and feedback that no MIDI
controller would/could.  If there was a compelling
reason for the controller, I bet people would buy it,
but make sure it's an option. (See my comments about
the Korg Legacy collection controller)

I can't wait to check your software.  I know it's not
even in beta yet but can you give use an idea of it's
feature set?
