Default Need your ideas on how to play audio (like a backing track) live

I wanted to see if anyone had ideas. Rather than pay $150 for a looper that will play my 15 seconds of sampled audio I wanted to use the stereo outs of my iPhone (?) into the mixer. Clearly hitting a tiny button clean during a song is not practical.

For instance we do a nice version of Pink Floyd's Breathe & Time and I wanted to play a few seconds of sampled work going between them much as they do.

Default Further on my post about how to play backing tracks

Somehow posting seems to jog thinking.... We have used Aron Nelson's unrealBook on our iPads for a few years now gigging once a week or so. The ability to rehearse and redraft songs, build set lists, etc is indispensable. There is a tremendous amount of stuff buried in there for your iTunes app cost of $5.99

Now I've just learned what 'transmogrify' does. I wanted to play about 15 secs of sampled audio between Pink Floyd's Breathe and Time as a transition and was looking at loopers (costly but effective as a foot switchable tool) and various ways to employ an iPhone. I somehow resurfaced his built in idea, read the manual and in a few seconds imported a file via DropBox to be triggered by the play button. I'll run a stereo feed into the mixer and we are done.
