Now *this" is what I'm talkin' bout!!! A floor controlled looper designed
for live on the fly improv. Who cares about *midi/usb bullshit? If you are
keyboardist, your board can do *that. If your a DJ, your laptop can do *that.If
you can keep time by tapping your foot and have a decent audio interface,
you don't need *THAT.
My one real concern is that hopefully it will be quiet.
when it comes to an efficient & intuitive floor looper, the RANG
RULEZ!

Boomerang(R) III Phrase Sampler (E-156) List price
is $539.
This little power house records in true stereo (or mono),
has over
17 minutes of recording time in mono and 6 independent loops
that can be
played sequentially (verse/chorus/bridge use) or
simultaneously. In the
latter mode the loops may be synched or played
totally independent from
each other.
After the primary loop is
recorded, there are 3 additional "layers"
that can be recorded. The
layers can be silenced, played or re-recorded.
Additional material may be
stacked on (added to) any of the layers. This
provides an undo/redo
capability.
The user can assign a number of interesting and useful
functions to
a "Bonus" button. We anticipate having the following
functions, and
possibly more: loop extend, loop copy, reverse lead live,
auto fade out,
metronome with loop quantize, octave down effect (for bass
line
creation), reverse playback and layer merging (combine all layers
to
free up memory).
There will be selectable sample rates, a
variety of signal routing
options and a pedal linking system so multiple
units can be synched.
We will insure that the pedal is easy to
operate and as intuitive as
the current one, but it will be deeper if you
want to explore the new
features.
There is no foot roller as on
the Rang(TM) Plus; volume will be
controlled by an external expression
pedal. There will be no MIDI or USB
connectivity, and no permanent
storage of loops.
