[microsound] asynchronous looping

[Ben Grossman]

Hello all,

I can confirm that the new Boomerang will do up to 4 loops of completely independent lengths.  They can also be synchronised to be in simple multiples of each other or of the same length.

I've used the EDP, Repeater, various pedals over the years, often several in the same setup in an attempt to do live non-synched looping.  I have not tried the "Looperlative" thingy, but so far, only the Boomerang III will do non-synched live loops in one box.  And the sound is MUCH better than the EDP or Repeater for my uses.

Of course one can do all of this in Live as well as long as you can get your latency down to comfortable levels for live looping.

Happy looping,

ben
