Please keep me informed of how it works out for you. Are you going
to post your project on the web?

So assuming shop fees of, say, $80/hour, once things were underway
and you were making one a day, the price would be around $1000, wouldn't
it?
Is that taking into account how much memory ucLinux, JACK and
theSooperLooper are going to take plus the memory for the loops? I
think that you may need another memory board just to store the loops.

I was thinking about the input controllers. How would you hook a
hardware controller as an input to the ethernet port? Isn't an
ethernet-out input device going to be kind of pricey?
