I don't see why most looping devices wouldn't be able to give you this (barring restrictions like the minimum loop time the RC20 imposes). It'd just require some technique on your part to press the buttons at the right time. I'd think a procedure like this would work: - Set your looper for 100% feedback - Play your note - After the initial attack is over, press record - Press Play (or whatever stops record and initiates loop play) before the note fades You end up with a small loop with your note in it. Now, it may not be perfectly seemless in terms of volume, etc, but it'll be that note. You could also do it with an older delay that had a "hold" feature. Set the delay time to the duration of the note you want to loop, play the note and press hold. It'd probably be hit or miss whether you got the note's attack in there. You could improve your odds by fading it in with a volume pedal or using an ebow. Greg __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
