yes, the Echoplex can have nine separate loops in memory, which can all be
triggered, retriggered etc. like with a sampler. When triggering with midi
you have velocity sensitivity and several different types of triggering
options. There are also copy, control, and sync options for multiple loops
that are very useful for performing with them. It is effectively
monophonic, so only one loop plays at a time. Unlike a typical sampler
though, the functions like overdub, multiply, and copy let you add things
to the loop in real time in such a way that you get a sort of limited
polyphonic effect. On most samplers, overdubbing in real-time is either not
available or very difficult, which is why looping devices like jamman,
echoplex, boomerang, etc are very popular for performance applications.
