So you are looping non-rhythmic parts? Is that what you mean?

What instrument do you play?

No midi, no syncing, no restarting :) My band experiences have been
more conventional in a rock type format (drums, guitar, bass) where
the looping doesn't need to go on through out the entire song but more
like adding some spurts of ambiance or texture to the songs.
