I had an email exchange with Mike last week, and there's more news there: "We will be releasing a non-looping pedal at the summer NAMM show and will follow quickly with a new Rang(TM) sampler based on the same hardware. It will be 2/3 the size of the Rang, less expensive and WAY more powerful: superb audio specs, super low noise floor, long record time, true stereo, multi level undo/redo, more loops, and a slew of different utility features such as a built in octave down effect for creating bass lines and a metronome with volume control." Based on that, I decided *not* to buy a Blooperang, but to simply try to be early in line for the mk 2. ----- Music: http://www.kellycoyle.net Blog: http://wwwquotidianme.blogspot.com/ On Mar 8, 2006, at 12:32 AM, Kevin wrote: > I contacted Mike Nelson about the Blooperang and here's his reply: > > From: Mike Nelson <mnelson@boomerangmusic.com> > It's true, it's true.
