Boomerang III Phrase Sampler

From Boomerang:

Features:

• 3 or 4 loops - your choice.
• 4 Play Styles - play loops in series or parallel.
• Easily syncs to an external MIDI clock source -The MIDI Start and Stop commands are supported as well. 
• Two Sample Rates - 48KHz or 24KHz, both use 20 bit samples; through signal is always 48KHz / 24 bits.
• Thru Mute Function - turns off through signal.
• Decay Rate Knob - sets the rate at which earlier parts fade when new ones are added.
• Stereo or Mono - recording and playback will be stereo or mono depending on which of the Smart Jacks you use.
• Smart Jacks - the Rang™ III senses which jacks are being used and provides different signal routing options.
• Rugged 9" x 6" x 2" steel chassis.

Functions:

• Stacking - "stacking" is adding a part to a loop (There is no limit to the number of parts you can stack.)
• Undo/Redo - the last part stacked can be muted, then played again or rerecorded.
• Erase - loops can be erased one at a time or all at once; some loops can be erased while others plays.
• Copy Loop - a complete loop can be copied whether it is playing or not
• Copy Live - this enables "re-sampling" and is very powerful; the pedal's output is routed to a new loop
• Octave - plays loop an octave lower and at half speed
• Reverse - loop plays backwards.
• Once - loop plays one time through then stops or if already playing, it stops at its end.
• Stutter - enables repeatedly starting a loop over before it plays all the way through, sort of like record scratching.
• Fade - loop(s) fades in or out with one button press; fade time can be 3 to 43 seconds.
• Reverse Solo - this is a built-in effect and enables you to create reverse leads live.

Expression Pedal Jack HERE

Connect an expression pedal for foot control of overall playback volume or Decay Rate. Volume Knobs Serial & Serial-Sync Play Styles Volume controls playback level. Vol 2 - Vol 4 do nothing in these Play Styles. Sync & Free Play Styles Volume controls playback level of loop 1 Vol 2 controls playback level of loop 2 Vol 3 controls playback level of loop 3 Vol 4 controls playback level of loop.

4 distinct Play Styles Provides ultimate flexibility. Serial Play Style 

Loops play one after the other for building a song in  verse/chorus/bridge fashion. Serial Master Play Style - For serial style loopers it's nice to have a rhythmic background behind the melodic loops. Mute the strings and record a short "chika-chika" or beat on the sides of your acoustic axe. This rhythmic master loop can then play along with any other loop. Sync Play Style - all loops can play simultaneously and are synced so they stay together. Free Play Style - all loops can play simultaneously and are NOT synced; this is great for creating ambient soundscapes.

Maximum recording time varies but can be as long as 35 minutes.

48KHz true stereo recording yields about 4 1/2 minutes 48KHz mono recording yields almost 9 minutes 24KHz true stereo recording yields almost 9 minutes 24KHz mono recording yields over 17 1/2 minutes 12KHz mono recording yields over 35 minute.

It comes to us in nice shape, with a few minor marks/scuffs to the enclosure, but overall shows well and not abused. No PS or box.
