Looper's Delight

My dismissal of the backing
track concept has more to do with my own hopes that the new Line six Jam
product was more of a straight ahead looper with more memory, features, and
midi sync capability so I could jam with my real ( not canned) Loop pals in
sync. Obviously I already have that capability with the LP-1, I just had hoped
some one would do it in a floor box size unit, and it’s obvious from my
latest reply that the RC-50 won’t be doing that anytime soon. Here is the
reply: “Hello
William, The syncing feature on the
RC-50 is intermittent. We alerted Roland/BOSS Japan to this, but have not heard
if or when they are planning to release an update for it in the future. Sincerely, Roland Product Support” Actually, I’m glad line 6 went to the
trouble to get real musicians to play backing tracks. I have nothing against
things like the GDEC for that matter, if they help and encourage someone to
play more and hopefully get better. I realize they are targeting a much
different market than me, more of the beginner entry level or weekend jammer
type person. I wish I was lord and ruler of the loop technology universe
and people like the Roland Corporation would actually listen to me, take my
suggestions, and build loop products that would keep all of you, newbie or
expert, happy as little girls, or boys, and singing my praises for ever, as you
enjoy my highly intuitive, expertly crafted, and incredibly full featured loop
products. The fact that the M13 includes many of the improvements to the DL-4
that people on this very list have wished for, gives me hope that at least they
are listening to there public. Perhaps they are re tooling to create a second
generation DL-4. Incidentally, the M-13 is a little wider than a standard large
line 6 modeler and a little over twice as deep, and about as heavy as two L6
modelers. |
