"The real work is in collecting and organizing the music, and organizing

your controller's workflow to make performance smooth and interesting, as

Moldover has done."
I wish that was true, but I understand what Renato says about diving into

technical details and spending more time programming or configuring things

rather than working on music. Organizing is important, but when Sooperlooper

simply does not display what loop is being played and you need around 20

loops at the very least when 4 already take up the whole screen -

Sooperlooper's ability to be controllerism software, which requires clarity

of interface and quick workflow, becomes too theoretical.
I absolutely do not want to say that Linux software is not capable of

providing controllerism in question, but at the moment - let's say, it is

not trivial. And for a musician who is not a programmer - basically, close

to impossible.
I would love to be proven wrong, because then I would use this solution on

Linux myself. But at the moment all discussions along the lines of "You

could just as easily do some controllerism stuff with a hacked Novation of

your own, or an Arduino, or a Monome, and just about any looper" feel like

the person who is saying it did not really try. Especially, the word

"easily" grates on the ears.
