If Behringer really would want to build a clone (I doubt it), then they
would just hire Bob and would take the stress from producing it himself
away, it could free him to concentrate on the developement... ;-)
Of course this would only happen if the looperlative is really
successful. And Bob would only do it, if he'd be free to develop what he
thinks is relevant. At that point I doubt even more that Behringer
would ever consider to build a real instrument. The only thing they are
good at is mass market gear.
Of course this would only happen if looping becomes as successful as
violent Rap music.
This twofold need for success would make me think it would be great if
Behringer starts do become interested, for Bob and all the looping
stars. (Wouldn't that be a nice title for a piece? we could start a
competition for the best "Looping Stars" piece...;-)
