they ARE memory suckers, but memory is independent of how many
dual processors you use.

and as of right now there are as far as I know no Mac music
programs that can use both processors (and precious few
of ANY Mac programs that use more than one processor!)

well, there are two schools, the "DJ" school and "player"
school.  the DJs mostly use loops created before they started,
usually taken from LPs and CDs, and the players mostly make
up the loops as they go along...

well, there are others, but the Chaos pad is a very nice piece
of kit and awful convenient to have in your mixer.

if you really want to do loops, you'll need SOME sort of effects
unit and the Chaos pad is pretty damned decent and intuitive...
