physical modeling

["Woehni" <hovard@online.no>]

Hi , this isn`t exactly loopology , but I was wondering if any of you have 
checked out
the Roland VG-8 or as similar "physical modeling" Devices  (like the 
Johnson Millenium)??

When/if that technology takes off(price/availabitily/quality) I think that 
will change the sounds off guitarplayers forever.  Imagine starting >from 
scratch , without ANY preconcieved sound as a startingpoint.
I think this is KINDA along the lines of the future of 
looping-thread.........To add to that thread:  I think the future of 
looping lies in the hope that technology will be more accessible
and affordable. When the VG-8 and the Echoplex cost less than a new strat 
I think more players are going to check them out........thus bringing 
looping into less "weird" territories and
different styles. Lets face it: Us David Torn fans ain`t exactly a BIG 
percent of the musicians
out there. 

Yours , Thomas W
