*Live Looping - not to be confused with Garage Band / Acid / Fruity Loops type 'drag&drop' computer based loop sequencing (where loops (or clips) are pre recorded, generally by third party producers).

With live looping the idea is to play live, capture loops as you play, then trigger them to play back, allowing you to you play more live sound along with them, make more loops, play them back, layering them up, then playing more live sound and so on...

A variety of stand alone devices or computer based software can be used to accomplish this - see loopers delight for more information.
