The release party was great. There were close to two dozen people there, many of whom were wearing Looper's Delight T-shirts. Unfortunately, I didn't get to meet all of them (I forgot to wear my t-shirt). I did recognize Tom Heasley and Sean Echevarria from Loopstock, and met a looper named Alex and another named Laurie who provided the PA. Amy X Neuburg and her husband Herb were also there, and Amy gave us a great demo of her unique vocal and percussion looping the next afternoon. - I hope to see them on the list soon. It's amazing how many loopers there are just in Kim's neighborhood. The performances were excellent. Andre and Matthias make a great duo - both are really good improvisers whose styles and sounds complement each other well. Our humble list maintainer even found himself on stage with a guitar for just long enough to demonstrate a few of the new features. Loop4 is awesome! There are features there that most people would never have thought of, in addition to all of the ones that I was hoping for, and implemented more elegantly that I could have imagined. I haven't installed my chipset yet, but I did read through the upgrade manual and I can't wait to get started. There are lots of features that will take a while to figure out how to use, but I'm starting to get ideas already. Matthias and Kim, plus Andre, Andy, Claude, and the rest of the beta test team, all deserve to be commended for their effort to bring this new software to light. I shot video of basically the whole event - three hours' worth. I'm not sure what will happen with the footage - we talked about putting together a DVD, but we would probably actually MAKE money if we just put the originals on eBay :) Stay tuned. -Hans Lindauer > So, the release was 3 days ago and not 1 single peep about it.
