       Hi Loopers.

       My name is John M.  I was an active member of this site in the late '90's through early 2000's until I sold everything in my looping set up to afford a move out of a dead end town.  I have just rebuilt my rig and am playing again.  Upon first glance it appears that not much has changed, the site even looks pretty much exactly the same.  However, I realize that so much has changed.  The most important and sadist change is the loss of Kim Flint.  He was the most help to me back in those days of a decade ago.  I actually emailed him 2 days ago not realizing that he has moved on from our world.  I read his very cool story of the Porsche that his Dad owned, sold, re-bought, and then gave to him.  Then I rejoined Loopers Delight and saw a listing for a memorial t-shirt and from there I figured out the sad news.

       Damn Kim, here's another soul that is missing you.  I'm so sorry you had to leave so early.

       I am glad to notice that most of the Loopers Delight mailing list appears to still have an interest in hardware loopers.  I was afraid that Ableton and laptops would have permanently and completely taken over.

       I'm looking for a little bit of help with some sync issues.  I would also like to learn about some opinions of the Grodius foot controllers, both the FCB expander and the big little giant.  I'm specifically wanting to find a gentleman by the name Andy Butler.  Xavier over at Grodius told me he'd be the one to talk to.  But I would also like to hear from other folks using a similar set up to mine.  Here are the most relevant details....

MPC 1000
Echoplex Digital Pro + w/efc7 (#1 for guitar to it's own amp)
Echoplex Digital Pro + w/efc7 (#2 for Bass to it's own amp)
FCB1010
Alesis QSR
AdrenaLinn II
Novation SL37 ReMOTE

Besides the Bass and Guitar with EDP's going to their own separate amps, all of the line level gear (MPC, QSR, AL2) are going into a small Mackie Mixer and a pair of powered monitors.

       I'll leave it at that for now.  I could spend days combing through the mailing list archives, but I'm hoping for something closer to an actual human interaction with some other real people.  I don't need to clog up the mailing list either, so if those who are interested in helping me would prefer to take our conversation outside the list, that would be fine.


Thanks sknahT

---John M.
