Re: sync-ing non-midi loopers/ cheap stereo loopers???

Well, there are at least two of us with the same problem, David.  ;-)  And 
guess what is even worse about our being so enamored of these little Akai 
units... if I wanted to add a third looper to my 2-Headrush setup, I would 
have to go through the agony of  walking down to my local, neighborhood 
music 
store and picking one up for $160-$170.  Not wait indefinitely for one to 
come down the pipe again.  (Is the term 'Vaporware' familiar to anyone?)  
Which I probably won't need to do, since all the possibilities I could 
ever 
want to try with looping on the gear I now have will take me a thousand 
years 
or so to realize.  Or perhaps I'm just unimaginative.  
    Like you, I setup (or allow) my loops to work away from each other on 
the 
two units.  Gives an interesting, life-like growth > decay into chaos > 
new 
growth morphing into some new undulating wave of sound again, ad 
infinitum.  
Great for background textures & 'soundscapes'.  I've got a lot of midi 
gear, 
if I want things in perfect sync.  It's the more organic feeling, 
imperfectly 
synced loops that interest me.  Just finished a CD, with looping on two of 
the cuts, btw.  When I get time, the orders for more or rollng in 
everyday, 
I'll throw some mp3's up on the web.
