Regarding the sampling rate of Digitech RDS 800 , J. Arif Verner said:

>I think it is 8 bit. I know the 7.6 is 8 bit and they are both similar.

My manual for the RDS 8000 says  ".....The entire series of Time Machines
now run with 12-bit VLSI engines for quieter, smoother performance...."

Also it says in Specifications for Frequency Response:

RDS-1000/4000----   20 Hz to 10 kHz
RDS-2000/8000----   20 Hz to 16 kHz

I don't know if any of this is applicable to the 7.6 or PDS pedals

Hope this is helpful

It seems if Oberheim is "backed-up" with orders, then there is pent-up
demand in the "system."  This is good news!  I wonder if there is more
demand that Gibson is aware of...

Well that's kind of disheartening. I was thinking that because it was kind
of old that it must not have a very good frequency response, so if I got a
Boomerang it would be an upgrade, but I guess not. 8(

Hey Boomerang folks, I'd like to add another voice to the pack suggesting
an option to halve the loop time/double the frequency response. This
is the only thing that's preventing me (and as it appears from comments on
here, quite a few others) from purchasing a Boomerang.

Just in case you were holding back, this is a questionnaire for ALL
readers of the Loopers-Delight e-lists -- not just EchoplexDP-oriented
folks.

It is interesting to see how many people have which looping tools (Q5.)

So far I've received 13 (oooh!!) responses.  I'll compile responses and
forward to the list for review.

Message-ID: <970911222120_1362945137@emout15.mail.aol.com>

Greeting Loopersons,

I must be a little slow on the uptake here or something. A few days ago an
SOS for EDP purchase assistance was put on the list by a fellow named Paul
Dresher. 

Paul is a former analog tape looper of some renown. I, in fact saw him
perform years ago in an art museum performance in Southern California that
was absolutely stunning! That performance (and the few of his recordings I've
been able to find) have been a great insiration to me ever since.

As I remember (at that particular time) he was using a multitrack
reel-to-reel system (not altogether unlike Fripp's) but with some additional
features including  of a bank of footpedals to operate volume faders for each
track. But, more impressive than the rig was the music itself. It would be an
injustice for me to even begin to describe so...I won't.

You owe it to youselves to check this guy out. He's got a disc or two out out
on the New Albion label and a few others elsewhere I believe. He's a composer
who has pretty thouroughly plummed the depths of looping as a musical concept
and now he's joining the ranks of us digital loopers...hmmmm interesting

Ciao,

Ted Killian

Loopers:

My successful search for the Echoplex was consumated (through the post on
this list) through the help of Rik Elswit, at Bananas At Large, an
excellent equipment store in San Rafael, CA.  Here are his numbers:
(forgive me Rik if this causes a deluge of commications).

Bananas At Large
415-457-7600
rik@well.com
bananas@bananas.com

Prices:  New unit, w/o foot pedal - $649
Used unit - with foot pedal and fully loaded with RAM - $669

(obviously the prices of used units are holding up, supply and demand I
guess)

I don't think they have any more units at present but I get the feeling
that Rik/Bananas seems to regularly deal in these units.  (I'm still hoping
for the foot controller for the new unit). In my search, I tried all my
usual sources, mail order places etc and most of them don't carry Oberheim
gear at all and the one or two who did hadn't seen an Echoplex in many
months and had no idea when or if more were coming.  

I love the units, they work better than expected and are deep with
compositional potential!  If I disappear from the list for a while its
because I'm locked away with my guitar and the two units working on a
piece.

Thanks for all the help.  It seems the request generated a lot of
discussion about the availability of these units.  I hope our mutual and
intense interest can influence Gibson to start making these units in larger
numbers.  I don't want to sound greedy, but I already want more.

The LXP-1 is just reverbs, the LXP-5 is multi-effects (it also has
reverbs). Also check out the LXP-15, which is both units combined.
The LXP-15 II upgrade is supposed to be better than the original.

This is essentially correct, though the LXP-1 features reverbs, chorus,
delays (about 1.5 sec, as I recall) and the LXP-5 has pitch shifting,
chorsus, delays, and other effectoid type things along with some reverb,
and the most unfriendly interface Lex ever created (IMO). The LXP-15 had
all of the nearly all the algorithms from the 1 & 5 (sans inverse verb) and
a really intuitive interface (IMO). And the version 2 software was a
*major* improvement, in a whole lot of areas, mostly program loading, and
editing.

Oh yeah, Hi Arif! Long time no chat...

Later,
Jon Durant

The LXP15 is not a combination of the 1 and the 5.  It offers three of
the LXP1 algorithms and both of the algorithms from the LXP5 but it is
only one processors so you can not run more than one algorithm at a
time.

Please let me know if you have any questions or if there is anything
that I can do for you.

Best regards,

The LXP-1 is strictly reverbs and delays. The LXP-5 is a multieffect with a
fixed chain of effects: mono-delay (slightly longer than 1 second, and
loopable) -> pitch shifter (very clean and smooth sounding) -> stereo delay
(1/2 second, no feedback) -> reverb (sounds very warm and smooth, for such
a cheap unit) -> eq. I absolutely love the LXP-5, it's one piece of gear
that I'll never part with. If you can find the MRC controller for it,
programming is much easier, and it makes it a very versatile
live-performance machine.

I'm enjoying the traffic on this list very much, and I'll emerge from
lurking to say, 
My set of four upgrade chips to expand my Jamman from 8 to
32 seconds just arrived from Rogue Music.  I'll have some time this
evening to install them.  Any words of advice before I go at it? 

Thanks in advance! -Tom

Just to let readers know, I've received about 30ish responses to my
off-the-cuff questions.  I plan to data into a spread sheet and see what
story emerges.  I'll see about getting the raw data out to the list
(minus the names of respondents), so everyone can have a crack at
interpretation.  I'm shooting for Monday.

I will also try to get the results into the hands of folks in Marketing
at Gibson. After we've all had a chance to chew on things a bit...

So, if you haven't already sent in your responses.   I'll keep the door
open until 4:00pm this afternoon.

Thanks to all of you
