This information probably is not what you're interested in...but here it is... Lately, I've been considering really cheap looping devices. These interest me for two reasons: 1) I like "multiple-track" unsynchronized loops - the more the merrier; 2) I'm a loop evangelist - if more musicians had loopers, the world would be a better place :) I haven't reached a conclusion yet, but your message prompts me to share what I've found so far. 1) REALLY cheap $44.95 (in quantity one) - the Jameco "Digital Voice Recorder Kit", part no. 116484, product no. JE920KIT can hold a 20-second loop with lo-fi bandwidth. This would take some modification, a box, in/out jacks, etc. Sounds like it would be fun to build a batch and sample audience members! 2) cheap (about $75) - the Jameco "Digital Voice Module", part no. 124871, product no. DVM58D. Can be populated with 16 Mb of DRAM to hold 5:35 minutes of full audio bandwidth (44.1 KHz sample rate) or 17:20 minutes at lo-fi bandwidth. Again, would require some modification to be used as a looper. Neither permits overdubbing, which to me is a requirement for even a cheap looper.
