I was looking for a looper / recorder to boost my musical creation. Note that I am a keyboardiste at the base. SOS does not seem the best choice, as it is primarily intended for guitarists.
So I connected to the audio output of my system, which integrated the SOS rhythm and started recording the first improvisations. The navigation is easy and within minutes the melody and bass rhythms were all mixed. I could even add an instant impact.
SOS runs perfectly level entrances, and gives a very balanced mix automatically. The models are quite acceptable.
The rhythmic variations can be changed on the fly, and do not expect the next step to be heard. This allows to give new effects. Very responsive!
The wide range of effects is not intended as guitarists. In addition to the classic effects such as reverb, there are extreme effects as JetPhaser, and all modular and fly through the TouchScreen. They can be applied to any track, even rhythms.
You can record from any sound source. Therefore no musical idea is lost! His voice is recorded, you can use a synth on iPad, connect a guitar etc ... And more portable than my laptop.
Looper can be any section of the song, even in recording mode.
This is a fabulous tool. The best musical notepad imaginable!

I compared the Tascam multitrack recorder Zoom, but none offer the variety and creativity of the SOS!

Please note a few limitations: different track is not deactivated on the fly, so it is not easy to use a looper in live situation, registration is 16bits, the interface does not always change all the parameter in one pass.

For guitarists, and even keyboardistes, seeking a creative approach oriented live multitrack recording, SOS is the ideal machine. I use it for almost a year, and I'm not ready to let go ....
Awesome!
