It may not be the reason, but for me there is a strange taste to the unit:
In '88, when I discovered the basic functions for the later LOOP 
delay, I proposed t.c. to include them in the 2290 and spent a 
weekend with them, explaining the use of it. I thought it was an easy 
software upgrade for a great machine, but the main engineers (yes, 
his name was Kim, too) final reaction was: "Its not worth it for a 
few esotherics".
So I had to build a machine from scratch. A while before they 
released the D-Two, I contacted him again, saying that it had become 
clear that there was a public for such a tool and proposing to 
include the function in newer t.c. units. There was no reply.
So when the d-Two came out, I found it strange that they even made a 
dedicated delay, still disregarding the loopers needs totally.

Fine that you can make something out of the D-Two, but imagine how 
much easy it would be for you and how simple for them to include some 
real Record function or a bit more...
