Re: Looperlative Observations (and 1st post)

All the guitar work on these was done with the Looperlative, April 27 and 
April 29:

Despite the fact that I just got a standalone laptop looping system up and 
runnnig, I'm still completely infactuated with the LP1, for the type of 
music I do. And I have total faith that Bob will continue to add new 
features that will make using it more and more excisting.  At one 
performance, I had recorded layers of loops on 5 out of 8 of the LP1 
tracks, 
and then I sat back and realized what an amazingly veratile musical 
tapestry 
it could turn into with some tweaking of the tracks and loops. I could 
have 
set my instrument down and played for hours, popping tracks in and out, 
reversing them, half speed, fading some out, etc.  And I can't even begin 
to 
say how elated I am to have a single space stereo looping unit. I would 
have 
bought the LP1 just for that and half the features.

...I better go hook my LP1 up to the ethernet and get the latest software 
upates. I'm behind.

I would not mind hearing some more first impressions/opions and or
audio clips from other on list LP1 users.
