re: Looperlative testers

[Steve Lawson <steve@steve-lawson.co.uk>]

 >>>I've been wondering about the selection of Looperlative LP1  
testers. Why
wasn't Andy Butler added to this group? Andy has proven that he's one  
of the
most structured, thorough and ingenious testers of loop devices or  
musical
gear of any kind. Was he too busy and declined?<<<

Probably because Bob doesn't know Andy at all. I've known Bob for  
years, and was, I think, part of his introduction to the world of  
live looping. He also met Rick Walker many years ago at a gig that  
Rick and I did with Michael Manring at the San Jose Museum of Art,  
that Rick organised.

Bob was pretty clear about where he wanted the looperlative to go,  
and knew that Rick and I would have ideas that fed into that. He  
didn't really need any more beta testers than that. There are a heck  
of a lot of people on this list who would be well placed to offer  
advice and ideas on what a loop box could be. Bob just sent his  
prototypes to two of his friends, simple as that.

cheers
