Re: New Boomerang and Blooperang Update...



Stereo recording....will that include stereo input/output too? That would 
be 
cool. That will make only two that can do this, right? I thought the RC50 
was stereo i/o as well.

It's just amazing how much momentum the looping technology is building 
now...both software and hardware. It's sort of exciting.
