The reason (sorry, no pun intended) is that a loop pedal is very immediate, to catch an idea. For example, sometimes I will have just one or two synths turned on and get something going, and I want to catch the moment sort of thing. Normally I have to turn on the PC, wait for it to all load up and settle, load programs etc etc... by this time, idea/inspiration gone. A loop pedal seems the ideal 'scratchpad' for the early stages of a song idea.
I know some people have their PC/Mac on 24/7, but I actually use mine very little. I actually prefer working around hardware, but of course thats my personnal preference. heh
Thanks for all the info everyone. Seems the RC-50 is the only device that midi-syncs (although not very well from what I've read.) Still, a looper seems a very handy device, as demonstraited by the young lady in the vid, (in my first post).
I use hardware 90% in my songs, so I can feel how you feel about this. But I think that REASON can give you some more flexibility on this , especially if you can midi map the sampling button to a foot pedal , I dont think a loop pedal will offer you any additional advantage. Afterall its a very crude one button process.
I am not sure if this is possible but my experience with reason is that most if not all features are midi mappable. And reason tends to be the most well behaved daw with midi controller. If it was a rather complex synth sure I would vote for hardware, but this is too simple for reason to fail in term of immediacy with the condition that is midi mappable.
