Sorry to have to ask David but what can the Boomerang do that the Aeros can’t. I need a looper that can midi sync and start and stop with it, record serial loops (verse-chorus) record in parallel (more than one loop in sync but on independent switches) and can save the loops and load them without a lot of hassle… I really don’t need to look at the waveform while I’m at a gig. If I can hear it and it sounds the same as what I put in I’m good. Also need good switches. Love the ones on the Boomerang. I’m probably just used to them. But hey, thats just my needs.
@AnthonySostre Is there any update on the shipment and next step after that?
Hoping you can fill us in on what to expect.
Waiting for them to clear customs (stateside) should be soon!

Any update on this?
According to the FB page, they are available for order…
That should be a good sign for batch #2 preorders…
Thanks - yeah - I got the “your shipping label has been created” email and tracking # yesterday morning - but USPS hasn’t received anything to ship yet.
Things seem to be moving forward.
Mine arrived today. I’ve unpacked it but not plugged it in yet. Looks very premium but I’m a little concerned about how robust it will be. The switches are a little squeeky as well which I’m not delighted by.

I’ll drop my $.02 in -
Every product conceived, designed, taken thru manufacturing, marketed, documented, debugged, supported is a HUGE undertaking - a major labor of love that hopefully will find a niche, serve a userbase, and turn a profit.
IMO, there are just not enough hours in a day or years in a life to justify going thru all that again to create something that is merely less capable and cheaper. I seriously say simply: Just Don’t Do It!
Instead, take the products that exist (BeatBuddy, and now Aeros) and perfect them to the maximal possible state that the given hardware (as operated by firmware) allows, wringing out of them every last use case and usability lesson that can be obtained from doing the engineering to create all the perfectly operating capabilities that the users are letting you know they want.
As this is done, create a deep and detailed list of any/all of the things that the users ask for that are -impossible- to do with the existing hardware.
THEN, finally, conceive and design the NEXT generation of hardware with MORE (inputs, tracks, options, processing power, features, etc. as appropriate for the further goals the user’s have given you) and ultimately manufacture and sell it.
Be sure also along the way to do continuing broad and deep surveys of the state of the competition. Not every great thing is going to be “invented here”. Incorporate all great ideas regardless of where they originated.
In all of this, NEVER DUMB IT DOWN (cripple or hobble it), and NEVER COMPROMISE ON QUALITY.
IMO, proceeding in this manner, you will find it to be true: Build It, and They Will Come! (i.e. Buy,)

I think what attracted me to the Aeros was the fact that the big impossibility for me, in terms of loopers, was simply having one looper with all of the features. I found, before getting the Aeros, that every high end looper had some or most of the features, but none, all of them. Until, that is, the Aeros. I know it’s not finished, and those features will be in the final product.

I hope everyone that was involved here knows the Aeros is now on firmware 3.0.0 and it is incredible!
How so? Share, please – what’s new?
Check out the 3.0.0 changelog here
We are also incredibly close to releasing the new beta on the forum, and hopefully go live on WiFi soon after!
