I stumbled on the discussion about the Looperlative debut at NAMM in the thread titled Steve Lawson gives masterclass. I thought I would suggest moving that discussion to this thread title for the sake of future researchers at Loopers Delight. ********************************* So, the LOOPERLATIVE live looping hardware device, designed by Bob Amstadt will have it's world premiere at the NAMM show. I am the other Beta Tester along with Steve Lawson and both of us will be performing with the machine at the Looperlative Booth at NAMM. I'll be showing it with little mini performances on Friday at 1, 3 and 5 Saturdays at 1, 3 and 5 Sunday at 1 and 3 I just took possession of the first one yesterday and do not have a manual. I also have a very busy week of gigging coming up before Christmas so I won't be able to really take a good look at it until the week after Christmas. After checking in with Bob first, I will post what I've learned about the boxes capabilities as I go along. Look for that after Christmas. Bob will be helping me with the learning curve which will consist of mostly figuring out how to program midi pedals to run it. One of the most exciting things to me about the box so far is that Bob has made it so that you can have 8 loops that are synchronized or unsynchronized. Apparently, you can run separate loops (with muting capabilities from a midi foot control) that are synchronized but then record other loops that are not synchronized. This is, in essence, like having several different looping boxes with sync capabilities. The other exciting thing is that Bob seems so willing to take suggestions about features to put into the box. Add the best fidelity, internet connectivity (storing loops, downloading new software revisions for free, et. al.) true stereo and it's a pretty attractive package. I'm excited to be learning it...........really honored to debut it with Steve! Hope to see you at NAMM. yours, Rick Walker
