Re: jamman | bob sellon software

I mostly lurk around here these days but I'll delurk now and pipe in 
here that I totally agree with Max that Bob's upgrade for the Jamster 
is way cooler than the original version even with the few bugs that are 
in it.  In Bob's own words the front panel interface is "terse" so you 
don't get a lot of visual feedback about what you are doing.  The 
visual feedback you do get is consistent though (I helped Bob debug 
that) but you have to learn what you are looking at and what it means.  
I definitely recommend using a good MIDI controller so you have access 
to all of the cool features he put in it.  My favorite feature is the 
ability to go between loop and delay mode with feedback control in 
delay mode.  I'm still using version 4 myself but I think there is a 
newer Version 6 that you can download from his website which has some 
new things in it but I don't have any way to burn a ROM so I haven't 
been able to check it out.  I haven't talked to Bob in a while but this 
has gotten me interested in checking in with him to see if he is still 
doing anything with the ROM. Please give him feedback if you use the 
ROM because this is mostly a labor of love (and fun) for him these days 
and he might continue to develop it if there's any interest.
