Minidisc for loops

[Tony Douglas <Ajdouglas@btinternet.com>]

My first minidisc recorder was the Sony MZ1 (the portable that was the 
size of a housebrick
and ran for an hour or so on the battery). Even though you should 
theoretically have been
able to set up loops on it using the anti-shock memory as the loop buffer, 
in practice there
was always a horrid little click or hiccough at the start/end point of the 
loop. It was great for
recording loops for later use though.

I've just gotten a Sharp MS701, and it has an optional mode for recording 
148 minutes of
mono sound - perfect for recording a couple of hours worth of playing 
wiith the JamMan
(mono out !) and playing around with it later.
