the latter is definitely what I'm after. sort of a rough equivalent of
the early brian eno multiple tape loop experiments, only all within one
machine, which to me would be enormously convenient (of course). I'd also
want to be able to fade the various loops in and out at will.

what's the DJRND3? can anyone verify if it can do the above?

now I'm dreaming. I can't even find *one* EDP ... much less afford it! :(

I looked on ebay the other day, just for the hell of it, and saw that
jammen were selling for $600 - $1000 ... I can't believe it. I only paid
$250 for mine, then another $50 to upgrade to 32sec ... wow ...
