Yes, I bought one of these and they work well--but I'm not using mine, and
would be willing to sell it.

Re: query 'real time live looping'
I haven't tried one of these, but it might be what you're looking for:
Seems like your drummer could either stomp or hit it occasionally to
establish tempo (and update the tempo). Good luck with your work.

What about synching my looper to a tap-tempo controller that the
drummer manages?
I have been trying to configure a looping environment for myself and
an electronic percussionist who uses a VST sampler/loop playback
virtual instrument hosted by his recording software. I have been
taking a sync signal out from the computer with some success, and my
Repeater loops stay in sync with his drum loops. However I'm looking
for a solution that will allow us to take it outside the studio.
Syncing to the computer doesn't allow for tempo changes on the fly, so
I figured the logical extension would be to remove the computer and
substitute some sort of tap-tempo device. It seems like I should be
able to let the drummer control the looper tempo (assuming they can
play to the tempo they establish themselves). Anyone tried this in
practice? What would be a good tap-tempo device so the drummer could
provide the MIDI sync output?
A secondary consideration - I'd like to avoid using headphones...
