hahahahahahahahaha... They're a big company all right... but so is Korg 
and they discontinued the  DL8000R Delay AND the AM8000R multi-effect 
processor before they were even a year old.

I've heard these used by a couple friends now with great results... Very 
good midi interface etc. Just very poorly received by the general public. 
They were actually reviewed very well by more than a couple magazines with 
the exception of the DL delay getting low marks for user i/f... 

This is fellow list member David Coffin's main looper and believe me... 
it's a looping beast! You can modulate the multi tap delays with various 
waveforms etc. 5 secs stereo / 10 secs mono. Each of the multi-taps is 
tempo assignable with various divisors allowing you to make clicks and 
pops jump into looping polyrythyms. It's one of the deepest tap tempo 
delays out there.

And it's now going to be one of those relics which pop up in the odd rack 
from time to time just like the Digitech RDS series.
