Re: New concept for looping control - extremely small and portable!

Brilliant. I'm all for the idea. Right now, my system is leaning toward 
only 
my MIDI Mouse pedal (one program button, and one preset up/down button) to 
freeze random loop functionlity, random effect selection/morphing, and 
random effect parameter manipulation.  I can do this now with my laptop 
keyboard, but doing it with the MIDI Mouse, will allow me to close the 
laptop lid forever!

Ahhhh, if I can just get to the point to where I'm just playing my 
instrument, yet reaping the benefits of computer technology. The best of 
both worlds for me.  I can't stand being a slave to my computer.
