I had somewhat stupidly dismissed it years ago as being a "DJ thing". As you point out, I was wrong wrong wrong. It's a great little looper, and does everything I want (except for JACK Transport, apparently). It's simple, fast, easy to do MIDI bindings, and runs on my netbook. Since my Dual-Core 64-bit laptop is still being sorted out from upgrading to Lenny, I'll be using my netbook for the show. And by the way, I don't mind the Indiamixx guys hijacking the thread to hype their product. The key to success is shameless, relentless self-promotion. Speaking of which, if anyone wants to see an EEE running Linux being used as an instrument, I'm doing a short duo set (Linux and congas) at Epicenter Cafe, 764 Harrison between 3rd/4th (next to Whole Foods), San Francisco, tomorrow May 28th between 7PM and 9PM. Free, come on by and hang out if you're in the area. > > H2 or almost any other sequencer can also be used as a looper in > combination with jack-rack or any other fx processor. > I'm familiar with Hydrogen, but that's a drum machine.
