I'm keeping my eye on it, but the specifics with which I'm interested 
aren't probably the same as everybody else.

Whereas most people, I think, are interested in slaving the 
Looperlative to MIDI clock, I'm interested in the LP-1's ability to 
act as a MIDI sync *master*.  I'd like to be able to preset the 
number of bars (and time signature) I'm about to be playing into the 
Master Loop, then have the LP-1 begin generating MIDI clock as soon 
as I close that first loop.

If that were implemented, I could record my first loop as an "intro", 
then have a drum machine (or any other MIDI-synced device) come in 
immediately [sic] synced-up to the proper tempo -- just as that first 
phrase begins to loop.

Don't know whether that'll ever happen, but one can hope...
