yeah ... i think i thought saving just the "loop" part of a looping 
performance
was important till i had a 'Plex for a bout a week. then, i wanted to 
record the
whole experience.

believe it or not, when i found out the 'peater had loop storage, my first
thought was "oh cool i can set up delay rates _ahead_ of time" .... saving
"snapshots" of performances was never something i thought of. so the big
hullaballooo about the peater overdub bullshit didn't bother me in the 
least.

unfortunately that's the way it is now, with your standard Shitty Trance
Spamming MP3.COM Artist. however, i have the pleasure of working with an
old-school acid house guy who lives here in town alot, and he can really 
_play_
his (minimal) gear. i've never heard so much _sound_ come from a TR-909 and
SH-101/TB-303 (slaved) setup.
