Hi L, I've got a little more info on these chips. The first problem is taken care of by a loop mode function of the chip. The second problem is true that there is no overdub. The biggest drawback is the 8khz sample rate. This reduces the highest freq to a little over 3khz. It is only telephone grade audio. Overdubs could be taken care of by using two chips and bouncing between the two. Running the controls would take a small programable processor. information is available at www.ISD.com Denis From: "Dennis Leas" <dennis@mdbs.com> Subject: Re: Home brew looper I think this the same chip used in the Jameco kits? I remember looking at these. As I recall, there's two problems: 1) not an easy (i.e., built-in) way to end recording and begin endless, looping playback and 2) no overdub capability. Nevertheless, it would be really cool to put together a DIY kit with one of these chips and some "glue" components. It would be fun to have a whole bunch of little looper boxes, even if they didn't have a lot of features.
