Ok, it's possible, :- stop noodling; push on pedal; hit Insert.
I haven't found a use for Quantise yet, as I don't use a dum machine.

Yes of course, another lead, another pedal, and by next week I won't know 
how 
I did without it.

Isn't the feedback setup different in Delay Mode too?
In Loop Mode the feedback changes at the loop end.
In Delay it can be used to fade out just a bit of the loop!
Do I get an "Undocumented-Feature-Credit" for that?
Can I pester Matthias for a MIDI controlled input mute to conpensate?
