Rainer,

 

Thank you for putting it in another perspective.  I guess being a newbie to the world of looping, I'm just in awe of the technical skills, hardware and software a lot of you possess.  I'm just starting to scratch the surface of what can be created and acheived through looping.

 

I guess as soon as I personally come across "limitations or flaws" for my looping needs on the Digitech JamMan, I'll probably be looking at something else too.  For now, it works for me.
