Yeah, that's pretty much spot on: you fill up the entire memory with
one single loop until it stops recording, then let it just sit there
unplayed for a few minutes. I guess the time left sitting varies a
bit, but it's measured in minutes, not seconds. When you finally
return to play the loop, it's degraded into a nasty noise. You can
get the Blooperang back to normal by simply erasing that loop and
recording a new one.
They're going for $279, I think, and Mike was kind enough to post
their availability last June or July, IIRC. I woulda killed for one
while I was stuck in Japan with no gear for 3 months last August, but
I figured by that time they had to be sold out by then. Oops!
