 Hey Rain thats a nice thingie and probably a loud one too!!
       

An almighty 1 watt actually. :)


Nice thingie you ordered, btw.

  Hey Beag. I snagged this for 444.00 with shipping. Retail is 549.00. I seen one for 400 but it was a private seller with no warranty. The lowest I seen one was 375 used. I went through fatwallet.com and got an additional discount. I think I paid a fair used price for it if it  works ok. I don't usually get into measuring my thingies Beag lol.

 Don't let the three tracks fool you. You can record additional parts onto each track and it has built in midi and backing tracks/export to wav.It is essentially a realtime hardware recorder. I play live sometimes  as a one man band and as a practice and composition tool it will work well getting ideas for parts together on the fly.Probably much faster than any other method, at least in my case it will be far more intuitive than anything computer related even Ableton.

 I can sync my HD 500 to it and use the 48 second looper in it or any other midi clock including software. I can probably get it to sync with Sonar.

me either, but it was hard not to notice!

yes, so do I, that's why I bought the one I did.  stereo output is nice, but unecessary for me since it's going into a mixer to send to the house mains in mono.  however, I supposed I could put "backing tracks" or loops on one channel, keyboard on another to send out and let the board handle it that way, but that really would just be over complicating it.
 
however, what I like about yours are the footswitches.  I have considered adding a behringer FCB-1010 to my setup for being able to quickly switch things.
 
re: Abelton - yeah, for my purpose (and sounds like yours) that's not even a real consideration. and no, it's not cheaper anyway since I'd have to buy a laptop to run Abelton on.

yes, you should be able to sync it with sonar.
 
good luck with it - it looks coolio!

 Thanks Beags. I liked the results I was getting with my 48 second looper and that's what led up to this. I don't think of it as much of a "looper" as I do an Idea recorder arranger.

me either.  I don't use it as a "looper" myself - I use it as a backing track.  I'll put the entire song on it without vocals or keyboards and I'll use that as accompaniment to my vocals and keyboards.  the one I have allows me to choose "loop" or "single" run (as yours probably does as well) and I always set it to single so that it doesn't repeat at the end of the song.

 Thanks Rain, I'm sure you could do more than I ever could with 1watt Blackstar ;-)

Rain..... I have been GASing over that 1w Black Star as well.
