This is funny, Bill, but the reason I started using software loopers
more than my EDP/Repeater setup was actually that I want to improvise
more in my music! ;-))

When you improvise live looping music the looper becomes the ultimate
instrument you play and I strongly felt that I would like to tune my
own instrument rather than adapting to whatever functionality knobs
some manufacturer had decided to put on the front plate of the box.

Bottomline: Using software based tools is not about "getting more
options". It is about getting down focusing on a few tools that YOU
chose and keeping them optimally sharp for your praxis.
