I'd say go for it, they're getting harder and harder to
come by, and you should be able to upgrade easily.
Easiest way to get that stuff to the computer is just
to line out.
Hmmm...not sure you know from your email that is -
you know that it doesn't store audio on it right? You'd have play the
parts you're going to loop. If you turn the machine off, the memory
dumps.
If you need um....prepared loops/audio it might not be what you're looking 
for.
However, if you want to what is referred to as "livelooping" than the
plex is a great tool!

hope that helps,

Dear folks,

I have do decide if to buy an old oberheim echoplex unit - the software is
loop II 5.0, and the memory allow to record 198 seconds - for about 500
dollars: I would need to record, overdub and recall differet song parts, in
order to play live with it. I'm also would interested to store the recorded
part on the PC. What do you suggest? Is that old oberheim a good option,
even according the price point of view?
Regards,

Angelo
