I am thinking about getting a Looperlative to use along side my EDP. The EDP would than be use soley for its stuttering and more bizzare effects you can get from sus, replace, loop copy, loop windowing etc.....would be a sort of electronic percussion and have the Looperlative cover the more ambient/melodic stuff.
