kim - couldn't agree with you MORE here.  it's easy to get a wrong
impression about a box, and I very nearly decided not to buy the Oberheim
since Unit #1 clearly didn't work...but the second unit is great, and the
advantages, features and sheer flexibility totally outweigh the minor
problems.  Now I'm *GLAD* I stuck with it, months later, it's really the
heart of my whole system (wish I could afford two... :)

and i find it difficult to go back to my old RDS-8000...with eight seconds
and see-if-you-can-hit-the-switch-just-right style looping (I got pretty
good at it after a few years, but always needed a BIG reverb to hide the 
odd
time bumps...) it still works, but it's pretty limited.

thanks again!
