| The Boomerang III Phrase Sampler/Looper. What is 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 III is easy to operate and as intuitive as the original Boomerang Plus, but there are more features and functionality. Serial Play Style - loops play one after the other like the Rang™ Plus.
The Boomerang® III chassis is the same wedge shape as the original but smaller. It's footprint is 6" (front to back) by 9" (side to side) by 2" tall, and weighs less than 3 lb.
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 |
