Anyone know if this comes with a complimentary Sony Loops download for the included ACID? I'm referring to their Loops site not a CD...

Came with mostly worthless loops. They didn't install automatically. Had to search for them and drag them off the installation cd. Also the same deal with 1001 sound effects. Good software, good deal overall.

No looper. But I didn't let that stop me because its an awesome amp. I can play along with youtubes all day or download backing tracks and presets from the fender fuse site. Peavey makes you buy a footswitch (120.00) to activate the internal looper.

MMine came in the box with original software. There is built in memory which is loaded with 100 presets of amp plus effects, along with some clips to jam with. You need to provide your own SD card for additional songs, etc. I am not sure if it is possible to add some songs to the built in memory or not. But SD cards are pretty cheap these days and a few gigs will get you a pretty good number of songs.

Hamguy is absolutely correct--no looper but awesome amp. The aux in allows you to play with backing tracks. I agree a looper would be nice, though.

I save everything to a looper. I move everything to the Boss looper and then build on that. I can connect that to the PC and wash everything through Acid. I have had this drum machine for 4 years... It has never crashed.

I agree with the first two responses. Of course, you can purchase the larger loops but they are more expensive.

I don't remember for sure. I had already purchased a seperate d-loop set up.

The software is on a Cd disk. The program works great with many really nice virtual instruments, inspiring loopsand a user friendly format.

The loops are pre-packaged and are similar colors to what was in the kit. I sell bags of just the loops for $14.99 each.

An unlimited license as far as I know. I talked to them about sounds, loops and they said all are royalty free and could be copy-written if used as an arrangement, not the individual sounds themselves. So you can write a song with their sounds and profit from it, but if you sell or commercialize an individual loop or sound it's a copy write violation. I used Mixcraft 4 for about 8 years before I stopped recording for awhile. So when I talked to them there was never any mention of a expiration of the license, and the Mixcraft Tech guy was pretty informative. That's all I know, sorry I couldn't give a definite answer, but I'd have to say you could probably use it forever or just upgrade when they do!

Yes! But I know this not because of this past buying. I never got the "CD"'s. In the past they were very good but now Sony has stopped making them and some people are selling regular "CD"'s, putting them in marked cases of "MUSIC" when they are not music cd's. Be careful!

Sorry, I don't use the download aspect, but all I do is create wav file (lossless) from cd rip from windows media player from my cds onto the hardrive and then transfer the files to the Sony player and the sounds would just simply be "Awesome"...

It is available free to download from sigma's site. The dp3 doesn't include the cd. Previous versions did.

The cartridges are available if you want to use them, but the Q-Chord is quite playable by itself. You don't have to use the prerecorded stuff.

Sorry no it doesn't store any loops......only your your presets setting and favorite sounds.....but if you wanna to save your loops you should go look up the tc helicon ditto and ditto 2 looper....boss rc3 , rc30, rc30 but fyi the boss pedals can be complicated or easy I own both the rc3 and rc30 but all these are great for hands free playing if your playing a instrument....but if your like me doing only beatbox/ a capella style music I use the electro harmonic 4500 or my friend are using the new roland 505 tabletop 5 track looper ....hope this help

Kathy:It seems that Sony uses this trade name "Xplod" on several of their different products including this one. My personal philosophy is to not be concerned about the trade name, but more focused on the right product attributes that I am looking for and not to buy extra features which I don't need or don't want to pay for. The brand name also means something to me and Sony is a pretty good brand.Jim
