RE: AW: looper + laptop interaction

[Jesse Thom <jessethevessel@hotmail.com>]

I forgot to mention that I'm on a mac. 

I'd actually prefer NOT to use a laptop and just keep it hardware based (looper + something that holds audio that can be organized / triggered).

I'll have a look at the Roland and Akai products you mentioned and see if I can figure out how to sync one to a repeater (or what i've got right now - a boss RC-50)

Thanks - any more info is welcome.
