I've been thinking of late that the ideal next generation product for
estimated complexity of development v. bang-for-the-buck would be a stereo
EDP. The software ought to be reasonably straightforward being largely just
a doubling of the sample size. My biggest concern is that there's a 68000 
in
the EDP and I think it runs out of address lines at 16 megabytes. Replacing
the processor would introduce a lot more flux into the process.

The idea would be to reduce the hardware replication one gets in having two
EDPs. This would also make the LoopIV pedal modes work better in the stereo
EDP case.

I would love to see an effects loop, but once again that's a much more
significant redesign of both the hardware and software.

On a pricing front, it probably needs to have a street price of just under
$1000. The EDP seems to go for between $649 and $749. Twice that is a fair
chunk of change for stereo and $1000 is more or less a psychological
barrier.

Kim and Matthias can now explain why this isn't reasonable.
