warwickhunt Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 AKAI Headrush, idiot proof (I got it to work). £95-£100 at SoundControl. I think you may find that you get a difference of opinion on this subject! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARGH Posted August 6, 2007 Author Share Posted August 6, 2007 Can any of these multi-track,as to intergrate loops as and when I please? (Think Frippatronics) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 the rc20xl has 11 separate tracks, and you can overdub each one in real time, but there are some limitations - the jamman I think is the same. The jamman is probably a better choice than the rc20xl because it uses memory cards, but it's more expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Think Frippatronics)[/quote] I'm not an expert but if you mean by that can you layer tracks over the top of your original loop, then yes the AKAI does that... and with ease, as many times as you like. However, if you wish to erase a track you don't like then you have to erase all back to the original loop (which is still saved until you wish to erase it).

ARGH Posted August 7, 2007 Author Share Posted August 7, 2007 Thankyou everyone,for the advice,on the insistance of the geezer in Electromusic in Doncaster,I tried the Boss. It seemed simple enough,and was fun,this sort of thing seems quite basic though,but rather rugged in construction (something Ive always insisted upon). The only question I have left is £170 reasonable for such a box of tricks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alun Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 (edited) I'd have a look on eBay. I picked one up for £145 plus postage and it looks like they still have them [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Boss-RC-20XL-Loop-Sampler-RC-20XL-RC20-XL-NEW_W0QQitemZ160145286991QQihZ006QQcategoryZ22669QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViItem"]HERE[/url] They get them sent from the US, but I still got mine in less than a week and they're brand new and unopened. Cheers, Alun EDIT - for some reason that link isn't wokring for me at the moment, so this is the full URL if you need it..

crez5150 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I've just gone through this.... buy a Jam Man.... far better than the rest and you can save loops via usb to your computer..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
