Hello you may have a look at the new Roland/Boss SP404.
It's an upgrade of the 303 I had.

Yes, and use the tap tempo to have a perfect loop at this tempo.
However you can't "overdub" without stopping first.
> How many loops can be going at once?
The polyphony is 12. and you have 10 or 12 banks of 12pads directly 
accessible + other you can load from a backup card (up to 1 giga CF).
>Are they set to a bpm?
Yes and you have clock synchro (and start stop) and a -crude- 
timestretching.

>What effects can be applied live, without stopping the sound?
29 effects (one at a time, you can choose which pads go thru the effect) 
with 3 control  knob.

> Lots of questions, but any suggestions would be most welcome.
