You won't be able to do the following until the final software is available:
- play more than 2 loops at a time
- have one loop play forward while another plays in reverse
- have one loop play an octave down while another plays normally
- have some loops fading in or out while others play on
- have multiple loops of unrelated lengths playing

The purchaser will receive the final production software and user manual when complete, but there is no commitment on our part to a specific delivery date. It's done when it's done. The software will be delivered as a MIDI file attached to an email. Uploading is accomplished by playing the file in a MIDI player on your computer with the output routed through a USB/MIDI interface and on to the III with a MIDI cable. If the customer doesn't have the means to accomplish this, then the unit must be returned to have the software installed. In that case, the customer will pay for all shipping expenses, both ways. This will most likely run from $20 to $35 in the lower 48.

the list of "can't do it yet, and we don't know when you will be able too" is a bit annoying

i REALLY want one of these, but mainly for multiple layers, owned :(

price is sounding like $440 on the street

Haha. Bonus buttons.

Dave Pajo did the Live from a Shark Cage stuff solo using a Boomerang. Really shows the potential of interface.
