I started looping things with it time ago, and then left it for

sooperlooper. As allready said, I preferred Freewheeling's approach,

but it was not maintained and I remember I missed some features

well, not yet, but I'm quite inspired by what people like Moldover, Tim

Exile and DubFX are doing... I don't have any "real" midi controller

but I'm comfortable with getting midi out of arduinos, gamepads and

guitar (with rakarrack midi converter)
One thing that kind of blocks me is that musically I'm not very

accostumed to electronic music, which seems better suited for this kind

of thing (It's hard to immagine doing "controllerism" on a tabla sitar

and guitar piece from Shakti (what I'm listening to now))
I'll eventually find my way I guess ;)
