Thanks
DJRND2 has moved to DJRND3, maybe launched this year I hope by some else 
than
Redsound.

Something which could be similar to the Electrix Repeater you mean ?
I am just waiting the day my patent is delivered in Canada to deal with IVL
Technology. No need for me to develop a musician looper like Repeater 
since it
might become a license of mine one day sooner or later.
With Redsound, Cycloops is the automatic BPM simplified version of DJRND2 
for club
DJs.
DJRND3 will be for "bedrooming" DJs (homestudio).
The o.s of cycloops will not change unless Redsound accept to debug the 
software
integration and turn it into a fully automatic BPM which should have been 
the case
if they had totally respected every term of our patent license.
I did the design of the Redsound Cycloops sampler, once Redsound stated on 
the
idea to make a 6-loop sampler. I have filed "Cycloops" in Europe, but 
Redsound
didn't wait for any license to be signed, too much exited to launch the 
product
first. Then I revised my financial conditions and they finally refused to 
sign ...
5 months after the launching date. Now they moved from "Cycloops" to 
"C-loops"
pretended they did the change of the trademark not to infrindge, but 
everybody
claims "Formely known as Cycloops"...

One problem is the BPM part is Redsound secret know-how on which they 
remain very
jalous.

But trades and profits lead the world on which we are all looping around : 
Sooner
or later, nothing can be done without money.
