Thanks for giving us a heads up on the new and improved 'Rang. Just 
wondering if there is going to be feedback control and midi clock sync 
capabilities with this new 2/3 rds sized looping box from the Boomerang 
folks. It is becoming more interesting as you write about it. I am sorry 
if I missed that somewhere in the exchange. Any other details you could 
provide would be appreciated. And price? What is the current price on 
Boomerangs? Just for point of reference.

Thanks,

Todd
