I’m pretty sure the only looper that can do the timing changes
(and your other requests) is the Electrix Repeater. Discontinued but you could
probably score one on ebay.

Subject: Looping Beginner Seeks Help
Hello,
I've been casually visiting loopersdelight.com for the past couple of years
now, reading up on equipment, checking on past mailing archives, but I've
finally decided to seek out some help for my own looping needs. A lot of my
questions are basic since I don't have any looping equipment yet, but I have a
clear idea of what I hope to achieve.
I want to be able to play one-man-band performances of original songs -
complete with verses, pre-choruses, choruses, bridges, etc. I hope to play and
loop the drums (either electronic or acoustics mic'd), bass, piano, guitar,
vocal harmonies, and any other wacky sounds... and sing over all that. My
questions are:
1. What looping equipment (hardware/software) would be ideal to achieve this?
I'm a beginner, but I'm looking to invest in a quality product to keep me going
in the long run. Any suggestions for accessories (midi pedals, set-up
suggestions) would also be helpful.
2. How can I have separate loops for the verse, pre-chorus, chorus, bridge,
etc.? Is there a way to switch from each of these segments of the song to the
other on the fly, or is there a smarter way of performing entire songs?
My songs follow general pop structure for the most part, but I like to have
tempo changes, usually going into a bridge or chorus. I assume this may throw
out the possibility of recording to a click, but please let me know if I'm
wrong.
Any tips will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
