2010 BOOMERANG III Phrase Sampler v3 Looper

Year: 2010

Manufacturer: BOOMERANG

Model: III Phrase Sampler v3 Looper

Case: None

Color:

Condition: Brand New

Description:

The Boomerang III chassis is the same wedge shape as the original but smaller. It's footprint is only 6" (front to back) by 9" (side to side) by 2" tall, and weighs less than 3 lb!

We ensure the III is easy to operate and as intuitive as the original Boomerang Plus, but it will be deeper if you want to explore the new features and creativity.

Boomerang III Features and Controls: Serial Play Style - loops play one after the other like the Rang™ Plus 
Serial Master Play Style - In addition to playing loops one after the other, there is a cool type of sync in the Serial Play Style where two loops can play simultaneously. If loop 3 is recorded first, it will become the master loop, otherwise it's just another loop and there is no master. If loop three is master, it can play along with the other loops.

So at one time you can play loops 1 & 3, 2 & 3, 4 & 3, but not 1 & 2, etc. Loops 1, 2 and 4 will be created so they are a multiple of the length of the master. For example, if master loop three is 4 seconds long, the other loops will be 4, 8, 12, 16... seconds long. Here's the purpose. 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. 3 or 4 loops - your choice

Stacking - "stacking" is adding 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 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 - 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 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


Reverse Solo - this is an effect and enables you to create reverse leads live
Two Sample Rates - 48KHz or 24KHz, both with 20 bit samples; through signal is always 48KHz with 24 bit samples


Thru Mute Function - turns off through signal


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


Loop Playback Volume Knob - this is always available to set 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.

Boomerang Looper

Boomerang III Phrase Sampler

boomerang looper

The Boomerang phrase sampler is the coolest looper around. So what’s a phrase sampler? It’s a musical tool that records, makes loops, adds parts (as many as you want), plays in reverse, plays back faster or slower than normal and more. It can be a songwriter’s scratch pad, tireless partner for rehearsing or jamming, and an amazing live performance tool. Best of all, using a Rang improves your playing, and as one magazine article says, it has “a knock out fun factor.”

The boomerang is the only looper in my opinion suitable for live performance. I’ve owned the Boss RC-20 as well as the Digitech JamMan, even though they have many more features, I always preferred the feel of the boomerang and the ease of using it’s tap switches. I have been waiting FOREVER for the boomerang III to provide the features I found in those pedals, and the ease of use of the rang. Well, it looks like I might get my wish soon, Boomerang has just started selling rang III preproduction models! When the official release comes they will be easily upgradeable to the official software.

* The software is 98% complete. Here’s what is complete and working >> boomerang looper features
