(of course there is also other hardware/software to generate loops, but im in love with the smaller RC-50 that ill buy this year) Loop (music) In electroacoustic music, a loop is a repeating section of sound material. Short sections of material can be repeated to create ostinato patterns. A loop can be created using a wide range of music technologies including digital samplers, synthesizers, sequencers, drum machines, tape machines, delay units, or they can be programmed using computer music software and actually also can be generated with all kinds of instruments or your voice together with all sorts of music technologies. Loops are short sections of tracks (probably between one and four bars in length), which you believe might work being repeated." A loop is not "any sample, but...specifically a small section of sound that's repeated continuously." Contrast with a one-shot sample."A loop is a sample of a performance that has been edited to repeat seamlessly when the audio file is played end to end" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvyDy15vW6U ps: just an idea, but how about:
