My thanks to all for answering my Boomerang questions, especially Michael and Todd! I have more questions. These are about Version 2. 1) Canceling loop to loop switching. Say that you've recorded Loop A and B. Now you're playing back Loop A, you press A/B, and the Loop 'b" LED starts to blink. If you didn't change anything, then the Boomerang would switch to Loop B when encountering the end of Loop A. But say that you press A/B again (before the end of Loop A). Does it "cancel" the forthcoming loop switch? If so, does the Loop 'b' LED stop flashing? And can you cancel the cancel by pressing A/B again? 2) Does each loop have its own REVERSE setting? Say that you've recorded Loop A and B. Can you set B to play reversed and A to play forward? So that, for instance, when A is playing forward, you can press A/B and when B starts, it is playing backwards? 3) Does each loop have its own End of Available Memory indication? Say that you've recorded Loop A and pressed STOP. You switch to Loop B (via a press on A/B) then start to record it. You run out of memory while recording Loop B and all the LEDs turn-in. Is Loop A unchanged? What happens if you press A/B at this point (with all the LEDs on)? Alternatively, could you press PLAY(STOP) to start playback of Loop B, then PLAY(STOP) again to stop Loop B, then A/B to switch to Loop A, then PLAY(STOP) to start playback of Loop A? 4) How does STACK interact with loop switching? Say that you have STACK set for latching behavior, you've recorded both Loops A and B, and you're playing back Loop A. Now you press STACK and start overdubbing into Loop A. What happens when you press A/B? Does the Boomerang switch to Loop B at the end of Loop A? If so, are you overdubbing (stacking) into Loop B? (So many questions...)
