Re: Advice
Basically I want a unit that I can use in live situations (running in a
roland hand sonic as well as assorted hand percussion instruments) where
I
can add to to pre-arranged loops (assorted samples and keyboard bits) as
well as something I can use at home with a Mac home studio setup. Does
this
even exist? Please excuse my lack of technical/looping knowledge. I've
been
watching Jamman and Electrix repeater auctions on ebay just to try and
gauge
what my venture will cost.
Thanks,
Justin
