Hi Ryan-

that's interesting news! do you have any more details, like a manual to go
with the new OS or something? I'd like to put that information on the
SP-808 page on the LD website. (and I guess I'll have to move it up to the
"true looper" category. :-)

that could make the sp-808 a very interesting device, given it has 8
looping tracks, timestretch/pitchchange, filters, effects, zip drive, and
that nifty d-beam thing.

give us a review of how well it works in real use when you get some more 
time.
