State of the RC-50

[Victor Eijkhout <victor@eijkhout.net>]

I just bought an RC-50, and having fun with it (http://www.eijkhout.net/mp3s/loop/thursday.mp3).

Now I hear that the RC-30 is coming out, but it still sounds like no match for the RC-50. Which is 5 years old?!

Has anyone heard rumours about updates to the RC-50? Is there another looper that's obviously better? Has to have multiple independent loops, of independent length and starting point (so the 8080 is out).

What I see wrong with the RC-50 is:

1/ no separate outs for the three phrases

2/ no effect send-return

3/ no feedback control.

For the rest I think it's majorly awesome.

Victor.
