MPX-100
1) there's an infinite repeat delay of up to 2.5s, which allows
you to block new input to the loop.
it's sort of tap time, in the way of a tap time echo though,
not like a full blown looper ( I think the loop length is 2 or 4x the
tap
time!)
The time can adjust itself to MIDI-clock in, so you can sort
of sync ( it doesn't reallign at the loop end though)
Unfortunately, if there's incoming MIDI clock this causes
the sound in an infinite repeat loop to gradually degrade
to a sort of buzzing sound.
2) there's a mono delay of 5s (or stereo 2.5s) with NO feedback,
this is v.high quality though, so can be used as a loop thing
if you have a mixer to arrange the feedback.
(no tap time)
If you don't want MIDI-sync, and can do without tap time then
check out the Behringer DSP2024P (Virtualizer Pro).
This has a stereo delay of up to 5s with up to 100% feedback.
The left and right channels can be adjusted individually for
time and feedback ( = 2 seperate loops!)
...and it has a sort of looping phrase sampler,(5s stereo)
. It does variable playback
speed (2octs either way) and reverse.
...and it's incredibly cheap
