Hi Tim, welcome to the the wonderful world of looping, and welcome to the group. It does seem that using PC or Mac and appropriate software might well be the way for you to go, most hardware loopers wouldn't do all you require. However, I will bring to your attention something that I have been using as an important part of my livelooping set-up. The RedSound Soundbite XL is essentially just a loop-sampler (no overdubbing of any loop), but it does allow 6 separate time related loops, all synced together nicely, each one starting as soon as each loop is recorded. Each loop can be turned off, faded out, or reversed independently, and there is some nice onboard filtering (unfortunately of all the loops en-masse). The 'pro' version has other features such as loop slicing, and the ability to communicate with PC/MAC. I have modified mine to give footswitch control (not difficult). It's pretty simple and rather deficient as a general purpose looper in many areas, but you might want to consider this. Check out he manufacturers web site. http://www.redsound.com/products Stephen I have no affiliation with Redsound.
