Let's not get carried away here:-

Caveat no.1

 "your captured loops will immediately be time stretched to the BPM of the 
Octatrack."

Can that feature be switched off?


Caveat no.2

 "5. Guitarists and multi-instrumentalists looking for the best looper 
option around?"

anyone who claims "the best looper" doesn't know what a stupid comment 
that is.


Caveat no.3
Isn't the favoured repeater trick the one where the pitch and tempo change
together, aka varispeed? There's no mention of that.
