Page 5: Quick Start
Music or sounds that repeat. It can be the verse of a song, a riff or a dog’s bark. Master Loop Recorded first, this loop sets the groove and is always loop 3 on the Rang™ III. Slave Loop Recorded after the master, they are always a multiple of the master’s length. -

Sections 8 and 9 for details. 6. “Loop Play Style” There are 4 Play Styles on the Boomerang III. The behavior of each is described in detail in Section Serial Loops play one at a time. This is great when you have a loop for the verse of a song, one for chorus, and one for the bridge. -
Page 9: How The Loop Buttons Work
3) Only 1 loop can be recorded at a time. 4) The III cannot record one loop and stack on another at the same time. Recording Second & Subsequent Loops Tap another loop button to record that loop. -
Page 10: Play Rules
NOTE - 1) When Loop 3 is master, the button & light behavior is different than Serial. Please read on. 2) If Master Loop 3 is erased, the III switches to Serial Play Style and Loop 3 reverts to being a normal loop. -
Page 11: Sync Play Style - Loop 3 Is Master & The Other Loops Are Slaves. All Loops Can Play At Once
2) If Loop 2 is playing, tap Loop 3 and Loop 3 turns on bright and begins recording. Loop 2 is completely indifferent to what’s happening with its neighbor, and plays on. 3) If Loop 2 is stacking, tap Loop 3 and nothing happens. A loop cannot be recorded while stacking on another loop. Boomerang® III Phrase Sampler Page 10... -

Resetting Bonus button assignments to factory defaults If you’ve changed a bunch of settings and want to return to the way your III was initially setup, do this: (1) power down, apply power, hold down both Bonus buttons until the initialization procedure is complete, about 10 seconds, release the buttons;... -
Page 13: Functions Controlled By The Bonus Buttons - Serial & Serial-Sync Play Styles
The following 11 functions can be assigned to and controlled by the two Bonus buttons. This provides a way to customize the operation of your Rang™ III. The functions are activated by either tapping or holding the Bonus button to which they are assigned. -
Page 14: Once
- Assignable to either Bonus button & controlled by a tap or hold NOTE - Reverse cannot be turned on or off while stacking. SETUP - Loops 1-2 have been recorded and are dim. Boomerang® III Phrase Sampler Page 13... -
Page 15: Reverse Solo
This is the length of time that your sounds are recorded before playing back in reverse. The light above the Reverse Solo label blinks once each time through the buffer. Your Rang™ III will continue to simultaneously record and play backwards until a third tap. -
Page 16: Undo (Redo)
Copy Live ( Re-sampling ) It’s easy to understand this use if you think of it as simply re-routing the III’s output to the empty loop you select. Whatever is coming out of your Rang™ III will be recorded in the new loop. This is called “re-sampling”... -
Page 17: Loop 4
If Loop 4 is selected, the yellow Bonus button controls a 4 loop, and the center light of the Clock Display becomes the Loop 4 light. Loop 4 behaves the same as Loops 1 and 2. Boomerang® III Phrase Sampler Page 16... -
Page 18: Functions Controlled By The Bonus Buttons - Sync & Free Play Styles
For example, if more than one loop is playing and you press Stack, which loop do you want to stack on? Since the III isn’t a mind reader, you have to tell it. Press Stack, then tap a loop button to add parts to that loop. -
Page 19: Octave
- Copy behaves the same in all Play Styles, and is described in Section 10.10. 11.11 Loop 4 - Loop 4 behaves the same in all Play Styles, and is described in Section 10.11. Boomerang® III Phrase Sampler Page 18... -
Page 20: Panic Button
The pedal is in the hopefully familiar Bonus Assign mode, with the center light blinking green. Then tap the yellow Bonus button. The III enters the Optional Behaviors sub-mode and the center light blinks slower. You’ll see Reverse Solo on bright green; Stack, Once, Octave, Play-Stop All, Fade, Undo, Copy and Loop 4 will be dim yellow. - Page 21 Brother sync behavior – light 9, Copy In a multiple III setup, it may be desirable for a III to opt out of the Brother Sync behavior and always be independent. This parameter allows a III to not participate in Brother Sync behavior. All incoming bro-sync commands are ignored and the III sends no bro-sync commands, but bro-sync commands are passed through to other connected IIIs.

Thru Mute light turns off. 17. MIDI Clock – The III receives commands on MIDI channel 16 NOTE – The Rang™ III can only be a MIDI slave. It cannot be a master as it sends no MIDI commands or MIDI clock signal. -
Page 23: Brother Sync
Normal bro-sync operation with 2 or more IIIs (single MIDI cable connection between each III) With this setup there is a MIDI cable going from the Pedal Link™ Out connector on one III to the Pedal Link™ In connector on another III. Multiple IIIs can be connected in daisy-chain fashion. -
Page 24: Rear Panel
In software Versions 1.0 and 2.0 these connectors serve only one purpose; the “In” connector is used to upload new software to your Rang™ III. But in V2.1 and higher the In connector is used to receive commands from an attached Side Car™ controller. In V3.0 and higher the In connector can receive MIDI clock from an external source. - Page 25 Insert cables have a TRS plug on one end and 2 mono plugs (or jacks) on the other end. The TRS plug connects to your Rang™ III and the 2 mono jacks connect to your volume pedal. A few insert cables that should work fine are Hosa STP201RT, Horizon HYS-P ¼”, Live Wire TRS(M)-Dual ¼"...
