Andy, you can configure it to work as three seperate, unsync'd loopers  
by turning off tempo sync and phrase sync.  At least, that has worked  
for me.

I find the drum patterns to be kind of "hokey".  I have, at times, run  
the drum track out of the AUX output to a small floor monitor to use  
as a click track, though.  I wish it had a simple click setting.

I've gotten excellent sound quality out of the unit -- I will add that  
it took a bit of tweaking of the gain controls to get it to work,  
though.  I use balanced connections and I haven't done much with the  
microphone preamp.

I find the RC-50 useful when I need a way to build drones, etc....  
with my theremin when I don't need to use midi clock sync.
