No, actaully I only need it. Which sucks. Buying things you *want* is fun.Buying things you *need* is a pain in the ass. What I DON'T need to do is buy something I can't return only to find out it's got a limitation that's yet another problem to solve. In other words, if I can't have shut down a rhythm guitar loop while leaving the percussion loop going, I'm no better off than I am with my $250 Loop Station for my particular application. But, laying awake in bed last night I think I figured out how to do this. Just be sure to use loop copy when adding a new loop for the rhythm guitar, then when turning off the guitar part, switch back to the first loop without the guitar. The logic there is a bit less elegant though. Sure the unit does just about anything, but there are some logical choices I that seem obvious that it doesn't seem to do. Such is the same for anything though I suppose!
