Hello all you little loopers, :)
    The response below is correct. Does any looper have a variable
sample/playback rate? It's a cool idea. You could get those psychedelic 
swooshes
like on the old tape based echo units.
    The upcoming Boomerang V2.0 software does not add this feature, but 
will
offer 5 different slow rates. You can drop your loop a musical 2nd, 4th, 
5th,
7th or an octave. The octave is half-speed; what the others are, I have no 
idea.
Of course you can go the other way, too, by recording on slow and playing 
back
at a faster speed.
    I'll scream and holler when the upgrade is ready. The software's done 
and we
are finishing up one final mod to the little circuit board.
