Re: software loopers

["Rob Wright" <rwright@ca.inter.net>]

hi folks: at the LD site, under tools of the trade, it refers to a number 
of
software-based loopers. although most allow you to stack loops together, it
seems to me that most don't allow the kind of real-time interactive looping
that makes the hardware devices so popular. so i did a google search on
"interactive software-based loopers" or some such, and came across an
intriguing piece of freeware called ambiloop. downloaded it last night and
have fiddled around a bit since. it looks very promising. offers 8 stereo
loops of, it seems, almost infinite length. loops can be added on the fly.
it allow half and double time, and reverse. there's also an FX and filter
section. anyone out there tried it out? i'd be interested to hear what
hardware loopers have to say about it. since i'm new to this and i don't 
own
one yet, i'm not sure whether it has any serious lackings or not.
here's the link: http://evenfall.com/ambiloop/
