I've had 4 friends in my area, not exactly a hotbed of musical activity, pick up JamBoys or Echoplexi in the last 6 months. I also see a lot more interest on the net and in the press for looping devices, and not just on this list. And I see a lot more musicians using them onstage in the last year. Maybe loopers are devices that needed some time for the public to really get interested in them, and that's starting to happen now. Is there any possibility on Lexicon re-thinking this decision?" It seems to me that interest in JAMMAN has peaked only after we stopped shipping them and the big instrument suppliers offered them at heavily discount prices. JAMMAN would probably require a new design to be re released as some of the parts that were available at the time that the JAMMAN was designed are no longer available in quantities sufficient for manufacturing. I would say that it is not very likely that we will come out with another dedicated looping device in the near future. JAMMAN was very successful in the emotional response that we got from most people who purchased it, however the volume of product that was actually sold was not sufficient enough as to elicit a very warm feeling from the people who make the decisions about what we make and what we do not make. David T also stated "How exactly is the MPX expandable? I use an LXP-5 for looping all the time, I love the idea of all the pitch/reverb processing after the loop. If the MPX could be expanded to do long loops, it could be a killer box. But frankly, I'm skeptical that Lexicon would leave us this possibility..." The MPX1 is expandable via software. I am not aware of any plans to offer expanded delay memory. It certainly will be more entertaining as a looper than the LXP5.
