Hi all,

Akai used to make a couple of little rack units, one was a MIDI arpeggiator  and the other was a MIDI delay. The later was what you might be thinking about as a MIDI "looper" though I don't remember there being multiple repeats . . .just one repeat (therefore, not much of a looper). I owned them both for a time. Found them modestly useful. When I went through  a "gear purge" a few years later I either sold them (very cheaply) or gave them to a keyboardist friend of mine. I don't know if she still has them or not. I think it's been over 15 years. Anyhoo, they were black, single rack space do-dahs, very shallow (might've been only 2-3 inches deep) had only a knob or two and a 2 digit LED display. I wish I could recall the model numbers.

Peace,
