I think many limitations with these hardware loopers can be turned into possibilities.
I myself want limitations, the music itself is so vast se to dive in :-D
Or maybe I'm just losing my friggin mind...
Louie->The software on Digitech stopped working on my XP-machine, so the unit became a piece of metal to me. RC-30's memory, you can access it as a norma USB-memory.
No software needed. I think Digitech made a huge mistake by closing the JamMan Stereo's memory by making it accessible only with their piece of **** software, that's programmed on Microsoft Silverlight, which is a joke in itself.
Sorry, a quite a burst of sentiment, but those are MHO's, at this time.
:-D

Hi Petr,
yes i tried it but decided to keep the Digitech for what i do,it would
have been nice if those 2 independent tracks could be different in
length as if u multiplied so i really didnt see much of an advantage
i didnt like that you had to press undo for 2 seconds or to change
parts without the switch,for what i do is a bit tedious since im
singing as well.
But the switches are really nice,i might have the Digis changed for
quieter ones!
