When I said "would be all over", what I think I meant was "could be made to 
warm up to...."   It's usually pretty easy to explain how something did come into existence, 
but hard to offer anything but speculation as to why something doesn't exist. 
Perhaps it's the familiarity and predisposition with sequencing/programming in 
that arena. It would just seem to me that the intuitive approach and spontaneity 
that looping (as opposed to sequencing) affords, could do well in said techno 
culture.   Plus you were being sarcastic about big companies being in touch with 
anything, right?   Cheers, Nic

AM Subject: Midi looper The looper community is small enough that I can understand 
  manufacturers
 not leaping on this opportunity.  The techno-raver-dj 
  community that you
 mention is another matter, however.  If, in fact, 
  that bunch would "be
 all over" a midi looper, why hasn't one of the big 
  hardware
 manufacturers come out with such a device 
  ????
