Personally, I don't have so much trouble with reverse. I'm not trying to excuse the pops, those can be annoying, but they aren't really that common. Of course my music often has elements in it that make a wee little pop seem pretty insignificant! But really, using reverse with guitars is just so damn fun that I heartily encourage everyone to play around with it and just try to live with the rather rare pop until the soft upgrade comes out. The enjoyment is easily worth the occasional pop, in my opinion. I know the boomerang has reverse functions, does the jamman? I should post some of my favorite reverse tricks.

I rather like the way loopcopy works now. To me it is quite intuitive, since it is just like using multiply, but your multiply occurs in another loop. When you think of it that way, its pretty easy to remember that the first thing you do is press NextLoop to go to another loop, then press Multiply to multiply (copy) when you go there... The only annoying thing is that SwitchQuant has to be on so that you switch loops only when you reach the end of the one you are in. That way you can press NextLoop early and have time to press something else before you switch. The LoopCopy parameter in the new soft basically makes it possible to copy without having SwitchQuant on, but the principles of its operation are similar. Its just more automatic. > >so: anticipating the long awaited UPGRADE........that will make this box >what it should have been all along!!! > yes, quite true.... kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@annihilist.com | http://www.annihilist.com/loop/loop.html http://www.annihilist.com/ | Loopers-Delight-request@annihilist.com
