60 seconds, IIRC, although I don't remember if that's normal or 
starting in half-speed.  I've never bumped up against the recording 
limit, but I don't tend to record two or five minute long loops, 
either.

You got it.  Delays will sync to MIDI clock, but the looper still 
won't.  Although it will respond to MIDI commands, so you can use 
whatever MIDI controller you'd like as a front end.

Primary (and only really big) disappointment for me was that the 
looper still wasn't stereo compatible.  You could use the 800ms 
stereo delay that accompanies the looper to fake some stuff, but that 
wasn't a real solution.  It finally necessitated me to buy two and 
run them in a "dual mono" configuration.  Luckily, I did this right 
when they were being blown out, so I didn't get gigged with the 
prices they've risen to since then.

I can't believe it appears they *still* haven't corrected the stereo 
thing in the new unit though...  :P
