Hello I have the 45000 and love it! But there are a few things I would do differently if you come out with a newer looper:

1) 4 input channels so I can really record a lot at once in my creative lil jam den. And make it so you can record the four inputs to their own track simultaneously. So that would mean we’d need at least 16 tracks.
2) read out with time on it so I can see how long I’ve been recording (be nice for that to be on the foot switch also)
3) true bouncing of loops. yeah I know you hook the 45000 up to your computer or pop the SD card into your computer and clone a track, and then go back to being creative, but it would be so much more smooth to be able to do some recording, and then clone what you did at the click of a button and bounce that to a new loop, so that now you can continue recording and have a saved copy before you made the new changes. Just like in photoshop, you want to save a copy sometimes so that you have it in the bank separate from what you are doing a while later in case your finger slips and you mess something up, or your power goes out or what have you, and again just so you can do more with what you already recorded but be able to totally go back to before what you add later. This would be particularly helpful when mixing down, so you can keep adding onto your loop creation by clearing your tracks by mixing down and then bumping the mixdown to a single track on a new loop. That way you can easily go back and undo things, and quickly too. You see having to go to my computer to do all this sort of thing strains the creativity, and you might get distracted and forget what you were trying to do on the loop by the time you get the cloning done that way.
4) Have loop mode and non loop mode, so that when we are doing recording and don’t want to overdub over the first part of the recording accidentally we can avoid it. This number 4 may not be feasible and I don’t care about it as much as the other numbers above. But if possible it would be cool.

And thanks, I know what I am talking about is unconventional, but I don’t need a lecture from some wonk about it. I think the 45000 has broke ground that if expanded on will be the future of recording creatively. I hate DAW’s etc. with all their little bitty menus and shit. I want to just be able to record and stop recording. I can mess with effects etc. later on using some computer software, but while recording I don’t want a million knobs and menus, I just want a simple interface (albeit with more channels and tracks) so I can record the basics while they are streaming out of my skull. Some of us don’t like having to find the mouse on the computer screen and then go through menus and shit. We are more on the fly, and we forget our stream of thought with all that computer and DAW shit. If the 45000 had more inputs and better cloning/bouncing and better time read out and few other things I forgot it could be an amazing way to record stuff for those of us who don’t like DAW’s as they currently exist.
