Well said, Rick. I can't speak for anyone else but myself here, but below are the reasons why I am seriously considering selling my two EDPs and controller (soon and for a decent price) and buying a Looperlative (and it's not just because it's the newest and sexiest looping device in the market and I'm being seduced by its novelty). Maybe these points will resonate well with some of you out there, not sure. 1. Ever since I bought my EDPs, I have been frustrated by the fact that they are mono, and thus running stereo takes up two rack spaces. I have a bad back, and even underwent back surgery over the holidays, and anything I can do to reduce my rack size and weight is a plus. The EDPs aren't exactly light either. The fact the Looperlative is stereo and a single space is probably the #1 seller for me 2. Believe it or not, even though I do play some wild experimental and avant-garde music at times, I don't really use the full capabilities of the EDPs....I'm sort of simple-minded that way. As I told Rick in a personal email this morning, I basically use Record, Overdub, Multiply, Reverse, Half Speed, Mute, and on occasion I hit Record after Multiplying to redefine the length of a loop in order to generate a timed-signatured loop out of a non time-signatured loop. I never use quantize, substitute, or anything that requires MIDI synchronization, and I don't really feel the need to start using these features. The Looperlative seems to be able to pull off these first five or six basic EDP features, which means it will suit my needs. 3. The more I think about it, the more I believe that having 8 separate loops is more beneficial for the type of music I play, which is often very abstract or complex, involving a lot of layers, etc. Being able to control the feedback and volume of 8 separate loops would truly complement the style of music I'm trying to play. Would any of you who have heard my music agree with this? 4. I love the fact that Bob will be providing software updates for the Looperlative....I think this is really up with the times of modern technology. And the fact that I can use my computer and an Ethernet cable, I find very attractive. 5. I like the idea of being a part of the development team, as in being able to provide input and feedback that will influence the design of the product. This too, I believe, is cutting edge. 6. I can't really see myself owning both my EDPs, or even one EDP, and the Looperlative. I'm trying to simply my life and not hoard gear, not complicate it by adding more gear to my list. It's taken me 5 years to get down to a three space rack and a laptop. Anyway, that's my spiel. Now, seriously, before I put these two EDPs and controller on eBay, would anyone consider buying them?
