I need a looper which can do this. Does it exist or should I give up?

Hello!

I have experimented with the Boomerang for a while.

Contrarily to what some said, I feel I already reached its limitations very soon.

At least for what I want to do (which is a sort of real time dj producing, where it is crucial the possibility to quickly create and quickly start/stop/pause/mute different sample/loops, effect them, time stretch them, pitch variate them, etc).

I do not know if the mythical octatrack can be the solution but no way that I will buy it unless I sell half of what I bought.

Or maybe I could add to my setup a korg Microsampler (it seems that it can time stretch, and that it can split a sample across the keyboard so that with each key the sample play at a different note).

I would not like to use pc/software for live looping because it will be a creative process, I will not just play loops, I will improvise music, create it in real time.

Maybe I am too perfectionist.

But I wonder what do I need.

I will try to give you an idea. Think about techno, minimal, electro music. Music with both repetitive parts but also quick variations of these repetitions.

It does not mean that I want to do only that kind of music (even if often now I find myself doing that music, with beatbox and the looper). But just to give you an idea of what I need to reach.

Can anybody help me in understanding which setup can let me do that?

I really would not like to use PC/software for a real time live creative improvisation process unless it can be easier and more effective.

Thanks a lot!
