Re: LOOP PEDAL FEATURE Spread Sheet proposed

[Michał Wiernowolski <mihalw@gmail.com>]

Per's chart is really excellent. It contains a very good feature 
selection and valuable comments for particular cases (all those 'yes, but').
Quite obviously it gets outdated as new hardware/software emerges.
I have the impression there is almost too much to cover to keep the 
chart convenient, as beyond dedicated loopers (Vox VDL-1, Line 6 JM4 
Looper, Akai E1/E2 Head rush) there are many devices with thrown in 
looper (TC Helicon VoiceLive Touch, Boss GT-10, Casio XW-G1, Vox 
DelayLab, Pigtronix Echolution, Digitech TimeBender, Strymon TimeLine, 
Roland MC-09, Korg  Kaossilator Pro, and many more). Moreover any delay 
unit with enough delay time (4 seconds?) can be practically used as a 
looper.
Despite this I encourage you Per to update this, let me repeat it (!), 
excellent chart.

As for the chart page I miss a bit glossary which could be useful not 
only for newbies, with categories like:
"Basic functions" - Overdub, Undo/Redo, Feedback,...
"Playback control" - Reverse, Half-speed, Retrigger,...
"Advanced loop-fx"  - Multiply,Time stretch, Replace, Scramble,... (loop 
manipulation that is _practically_ possible only within the looper)
"Sync", etc.

Regards,
Michał
