Re: rang3 ?

Heck, I didn't even know there was a Rang II.  That must be the first one 
with the version 2 software? (the one out now and shown on their website: 
http://www.boomerangmusic.com/

It wasn't called multiply, but Stack. I had to look at the manual to 
remember.

>From the version 2 manual: "During playback, STACK will add what you're 
playing to the existing loop, and stack will
turn on. A second tap turns off stack and stops adding sound to your loop. 
This stacking of
parts will continue for as long as stack is on. There is no hard limit to 
the number of parts that
can be added, in fact a whole song can be created in just a few minutes by 
stacking on various
parts, one by one. If the Rang is connected to a small mixing console, 
different instruments and
voices can be added to the mix. By controlling the relative levels of each 
new part the final result
will sound well balanced; this is an experience thing. The stacking 
feature 
works during reverse
playback so any part can be recorded forward or reversed."

It has been since 2004 since I owned the Rang, but I believe Stack worked 
sort of like Multiply on the EDP, in its most simple way.  But I could be 
out of my gourd....I just recall being able to do short 1 measure loops 
and 
then add to them later, like with Multiply on an EDP, which was the main 
benefit for saving time and not having to sit on my ass and play a bass 
line 
for 16 measures in order to loop a 16 bar chorus over the top of it.  I've 
always thought that was just ridiculuous. I have jazz guitarist friends 
here 
still using the RC20 and looping entire ABAA parts so that they can play 
the 
heads and solos over the whole set of changes...nuts.  If they only had 
A/B 
or Multiply.
