Hi Eric and happy new year! sounds like you guys have crazy stuff up your
sleeves for 2003...

my questions about stylus are:
can I chop my own loops in there? if not now, is that coming in the future?
if not, can I load rex2 files?
If not, is there a stand alone app, like recycle that will chop and output
groove control files? (special tools???)

Since I've been using recycle for like, forever, I am experienced enough to
chop my own loops and if I bought Stylus I'd like to use it like that mainly
as half the fun of inventing a new sound for a record (for me at least) is
recording and chopping my own sounds.

thanks,
Teddy Kumpel
