Boomerang Looper

Boomerang Rang III Phrase Sampler Released

Coming at you not one, but two times, is the new Boomerang Rang III phrase sampler and looper, in two versions. With Version 1 of the phrase sampler, you get the following features (boomerang looper):

• Serial Play Style: loops play one after the other like the Rang Plus
  

  
• Serial Master Play Style: two loops (master loop plus another recorded loop) can play simultaneously, allowing you to create a rhythmic background behind the melodic loops
  
  
• Play three or four loops of your choice
  

  
• Stacking: add a part to a loop
  

  
• 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; a loop can be erased while another plays
  

  
• Copy Loop: a loop can be copied whether or not it is playing
  

  
• Copy Live: this feature enables "re-sampling"; the pedal's output is routed to a new loop
  

  
• Octave: loop(s) plays at half speed and an octave lower
  

  
• Reverse: loop(s) plays backwards
  

  
• Once: loop(s) plays one time through then stops or if it is already playing, it stops at its end
  

  
• Fade: loop(s) fade in or out with one button press; fades can be 3 to 43 seconds long
  

  
• Reverse Solo: create live reverse leads
  

  
• Two Sample Rates: 48 kHz or 24 KHz, both with 20-bit samples; through signal is always 48 kHz with 24-bit samples
  

  
• Thru Mute Function: turns off through signal
  

  
• Expression Pedal Volume Control: plug in an expression pedal and it will be the master playback volume control
  

  
• Loop Playback Volume Knob: sets loop playback volume
  

  
• 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




With the free Version 2 upgrade, you'll have the following added features: Sync Play Style, in which all loops can play simultaneously and are synced so they stay together; Free Play Style, where all loops can play simultaneously and are not synced, which is a nice feature for creating ambient soundscapes; and a smaller chassis, which has the same wedge shape as the original but is smaller, measuring 6-inches (front to back) x 9-inches (side to side) x 2-inches high, and weighing less than 3 pounds.
