Kim is right. The primary issue here is user interface. I have looked at a number of DJ-type 'loopers' like the Roland 808 and the Yamaha SU700. The major limitation that these devices have in a live performance is that in order to use them I would need to take my hands off of my guitar! This seems to be even more of a problem with the PC based software programs I have used. The secondary problem with these devices is that they require you to be far to deterministic about the content of your loops. I love the freedom that the Jam Man allows in composing textures (especially with the multiple simultaneous stereo loops)., and I often transferr these to the computer for use as resource elements for more cerebral compositional methods. Keeping both hands on the guitar is as important as keeping both hands on the handlebars. BTW, I chickened out last year and backed off the throttle once the spedometer on my Ducati passed 145mph.....now I can't afford to speed any more.... -Chuck Zwicky At 12:53 AM 3/8/99 -0800, you wrote: >At 12:30 AM -0800 3/8/99, Javier Miranda V. wrote: >> It does remind me of how different I feel driving down the highway >>at 55mph >>than when I'm driving down the highway doing 80mph.
