Some details via Future Artist:

"The MIDI Looper serves as the automated helping hand for the electric piano, synthesizer or accordion player. It helps performing live sessions as well as producing complex melodies.

To play acurately to the beat and to record a perfectly played note sequence is a challenge for beginners but also for professionals. By using the MIDI Looper the musician is able to record MIDI note sequence and quantize note patterns dynamically.

The high polyphony allows complex melodic and tonal variations by parallel processing of MIDI note and controller data
By using an additional foot switch, the musician can entirely concentrate playing the instrument with both hands

Features:
Recording and simultaneous playback of MIDI music notes as well as MIDI Controller data
Visual feedback at recordings and playbacks (display of music notes activities and clock speed)

Quantization of note positions during play is adjustable every time (Steps: 1/96, 1/32, 1/24, 1/16, 1/12, 1/8, 1/6, 1/4 beat)
