Looping the harmonica



You know Mike, software might be the way to go for you?
There?s lots of looper freeware, if you already have a laptop, you could
probably set up what you need, and spend your money on a good footpedal to
control it all . . .
If there?s anything in the budget for looping software, there?s some great
stuff available as well?and folks on this list (other than myself) are very
knowledgeable about it.
So here?s the need, as I understand it?
First loop is a percussion track?
Second is a bass track?
And any further tracks would be melody/chord?

Subject: Re: Roland the Idiot Musical Instrument Manufacturer

I am still deciding between a Boomerang and the RC300, but would snap up a
used 'Rang really quick ($400 or less for that is money very well spent).  
I
tried to like the Roland stuff from the start, as it is easy to buy used,
generally well built, and I've liked their other products, but they all 
seem
to have a fatal flaw (usually brought up after release) that I just can't
get around.

The RC300 sounds amazing, but I am concerned about "glitches".  The layout
looks great and very user friendly.  It would be the ultimate if it 1.)
worked as advertised and 2.) would some how allow for one of the channels 
to
always be effected.  Specifically, if I could insert an octave down effect
that was always on just that one channel...not a deal breaker, as the rest
of it seems perfect for live work.

But in that way, I could always use one for beatboxing, one for singing 
bass
lines, and the last one for my rhythm harmonica part without stomping on
more than the looper.  I could play for hours live with a setup like that,
lol.  Right now I am using my M13 and have to tap dance to get to the
"bass".

Maybe effects loops for every channel will eventually be on the market?
