I, for one, am glad that they are being as open as they are about their process in bringing this product out. Products slip all the time. So what? There are a lot of people here excited about it. They may want to talk about it. Why should they be discouraged from talking about the Repeater until it ships. When I saw a demo at NAMM I was struck by two things: 1 - this thing is still a fair way off, lucky if it hits by Summer NAMM, and 2 - this thing is going to be REALLY cool, and I REALLY want one. It falls into an very interesting middle ground between hard disk recording and "traditional" looping. As far as I know, once Electrix was burned by giving out a date last year, they have been pretty vague about ship dates. This is as it should be. Ask Kim what the schedule is for the next EDP software update, and you'll get world class evasion. Once again, this is as it should be. Once things look like they are firming up enough to make a good prediction, then you can let out a date. The fact that Electrix is spending money on advertising before the product is ready is too bad, but I bet they do better next time. There are looping products that get discussed here that I have zero interest in, but I don't feel that we should have a moratorium on discussing them. This is not Loopers-who-use-the-same-devices-I-do-Delight.
