I don't think so. The key here is that a famous person has a lot of
people's attention.

Good question. The person who came up to see what I was using for multi
track looping said, "Oh, I heard about the Repeater and I'm thinking
about getting one!" To which I said, "Don't think too hard, as they're
already out of production." He knew about the EDP too, yet he owned
neither. Maybe it's money? I couldn't afford an EDP for a long time.
Another possibility is that looping sounds good and all, but I think
what would REALLY bring people around is playing with one. I think
units like the DL4 are probably doing a lot to bring people into this.
