Easily syncs to an external MIDI clock source. The MIDI Start and Stop commands are supported as well.
4 distinct Play Styles provides ultimate flexibility. Serial Play Style - loops play one after the other for building a song in verse/chorus/bridge fashion. Serial Master Play Style - For serial style loopers it's nice to have a rhythmic background behind the melodic loops. Mute the strings and record a short "chika-chika" or beat on the sides of your acoustic axe. This rhythmic master loop can then play along with any other loop. Sync Play Style - all loops can play simultaneously and are synced so they stay together. Free Play Style - all loops can play simultaneously and are NOT synced; this is great for creating ambient soundscapes.
3 or 4 loops - your choice.
Maximum recording time varies but can be as long as 35 minutes. 48KHz true stereo recording yields about 4 1/2 minutes 48KHz mono recording yields almost 9 minutes 24KHz true stereo recording yields almost 9 minutes 24KHz mono recording yields over 17 1/2 minutes 12KHz mono recording yields over 35 minutes
Two Sample Rates - 48KHz or 24KHz, both use 20 bit samples; through signal is always 48KHz / 24 bits.
Thru Mute Function - turns off through signal.
Expression Pedal Jack - connect an expression pedal for foot control of overall playback volume or Decay Rate.
Volume Knobs Serial & Serial-Sync Play Styles Volume controls playback level. Vol 2 - Vol 4 do nothing in these Play Styles. Sync & Free Play Styles Volume controls playback level of loop 1 Vol 2 controls playback level of loop 2 Vol 3 controls playback level of loop 3 Vol 4 controls playback level of loop 4
Decay Rate Knob - sets the rate at which earlier parts fade when new ones are added; continuously variable from 0-100%.
Stereo or Mono - recording and playback will be stereo or mono depending on which of the Smart Jacks you use.
Smart Jacks - the Rang™ III senses which jacks are being used and provides different signal routing options.
Rugged 9" x 6" x 2" steel chassis. It's much smaller than the other loopers that approach the III's power.

Functions:

Stacking - "stacking" is adding a part to a loop (There is no limit to the number of parts you can stack.)
Undo/Redo - the last part stacked can be muted, then played again or rerecorded.
Erase - loops can be erased one at a time or all at once; some loops can be erased while others plays.
Copy Loop - a complete loop can be copied whether it is playing or not.
Copy Live - this enables "re-sampling" and is very powerful; the pedal's output is routed to a new loop.
Octave - plays loop an octave lower - your choice of original tempo (instant bass part) or playing at half speed.
Reverse - loop plays backwards.
Once - loop plays one time through then stops or if already playing, it stops at its end.
Stutter - enables repeatedly starting a loop over before it plays all the way through, sort of like record scratching.
Fade - loop(s) fades in or out with one button press; fade time can be 3 to 43 seconds.
Reverse Solo - this is a built-in effect and enables you to create reverse leads live.
