If we want to get continued interest from manufacturers in making loop products, they need to see ongoing sales. One way for that to happen is for us to generally popularize looping, and show others what loopers are and why they are fun to use. A very large number of Echoplex sales happen that way, because a user convinced his buddy to get one too. Performing with them shows people the possibilities. > >My bassist is interested in a looping device so I was considering (believe >it or not) in purchasing the Echoplex and selling him my Jamman.

You tap to start the delay recording, and tap again to define the end point of the loop. Extremely easy to figure out and use. You can't dial in a loop length though. If you need precise loop lengths, its usually because you need to sync to something else. Many things you might need to sync to can generate sync signals of some sort (including the plex). You can more accurately accomplish this sort of thing by actually using the sync features to lock up to other devices. Dialing in those numbers is sort of risky actually, because how accurate do think it really is? If there is a little bit of error, and the loop is repeated 100 times, it becomes a big error! 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
