I'm keeping my FCB too...it's still a great unit, even though I can't find a decent sized bag to put it in....I wish Behringer would make a version without the two expression pedels. It would be a lot more manageable for traveling and packing. That being said, I have altered my approach to MIDI control and looping. Although I think it is really interesting that people are doing all sorts of technical and fascinating things with MIDI controllers and Mobius, Looperlative, and other hardware loopers, like all the scripts, different ways of overdubbing, coping, etc.....I am still manage to the basics when it comes to looping...I still use only the Record, Overdub, Multiply (rarely), reverse, and half-speed....and of course I really take advantage of the 8 tracks in Mobius, for generating multiple loops and mixing/playing with them during a performance. I don't find it necessary to have a lot of looping features to play my style of avant-garde music. In fact, I could still pull it off with onlly Record and Overdub...my debut solo CD was with the Boomerang, and that still represents the style of looping that I prefer. For me, the possibilities just with these basic features are limitless when it comes to avant-garde, free improv, and experimental guitar. Adding all the other features and ways of manipulating the loops just clutters my mind and distract me from the creative processs. It is a simple joy for me to sit down at a performance with nothing but the Record and Overdub buttons, and my laptop effects...and just see what I can do with that....it's just my simple-minded approach.
