Re: POLAR

A friend of mine, who saw the demo at NAMM, said it was very impressive.  A
guitarist, bass player, and drummer, plus Shaka Khan and other singers all
laying down live loops, and switching between them.

There has been no official information from MOTU outside of the NAMM demo
about the details of POLAR.  It is slated to be incorporated into version
2.6.  They just started shipping version 2.5, so I wouldn't expect it soon.

Digital performer already has the ability to loop audio and MIDI sequences.
There has been a lot of discussion on the MOTU list about the fact that it
is not very suited to live performance.  MOTU monitors the list and is
generally responsive to suggestions.  I don't think it would take a lot of
programming to create a live interface to the existing features.  DP 2.6 is
supposed to be shipped as a free upgrade to purchasers of 2.5
