Ah, ops, sorry, I saw now that the one who was asking about a looper able to sync with other devices is Jannis. Well, Eib, this midibox masterclock is a DIY, if you can solder, it is a cheap solution. There are other three solutions which I know and which are much more expensive (expensive as an Echoplex). Innerclock Systems: http://www.innerclocksystems.com/index.html they are made by an Australian guy named David who is quite nice and for example he is helping me with the Octatrack. The Octatrack has got a looper, among other things, but its looper is tied to the Octatrack TimeStretch algorhythm so that the Octatrack must be Master in order to loop well. While for example the Innerclock products need the daw -let's say Ableton, in my case- to be Master, and the OT to be slave. So he is trying to borrow an OT to make some experiments. But they are more for modular synths as far as I understood.
So, I gave you 3 different expensive solutions which are know to work very well in solving sync issues. :)
Hope this helps.

i hope something like this is already in the market so that we can set master and slave looper. http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=midimasterclock

Hallo Rick,
as far as I understood, Eib asked about a looper which can be synced with other gears and/or daws. Anyway, this is also what I am intereste in. I still have here my Boomerang III but it is completely unable to sync with any other device at all.
So I was thinking eventually to a looper which I could use to sync it with my Octatrack of with other gears. THe looper should be able to loop while slaved (because the Octatrack must be Master, that's a fact, unfortunately).
Can the LP2 do that? Can it sync well to other devices or daw? And do I remember well or it can work with batteries? Because I do not really need another stage looper, I need now a street looper with batteries for when I will play in the streets with my friends...
