Re: asynchronus hardware loopers

Or if you sold your EDPs you could fund a
Looperlative.  Not sure if it does everything you need
though.  I sold my Looperlative to fund a laptop that
runs Mobius which is based (somewhat) on the
functionality of the EDP... but like you have 16 (or 8
stereo) of them.  Tracks can run synced or not. 
Sweet.
