Boomerang III update

My curiosity got the best of me, and I dropped an email to the fine folks at BMP last week, and here's what I heard back from Lynne @ Boomerang:

This sounds pretty exciting -- definitely sounds like they're getting there -- and hopefully, in the near future, we can get our hot little paws on some Rang action. I'm still super curious about the expression pedal, and am hoping it will be able to be assigned to feedback.
