oh, 22.5 seconds nice but not plenty... how dificult will it be to 
use the CFC card to expand the internal memory in the live stage 
situation?

I think that was not the question, at least not mine. There must be a 
difference between the internal and the card memory. It probably 
comes in where you keep recording more tracks without having time to 
save anything to the card:
If you are working on a 23 second loop you run out of internal memory 
when you get to the last track?
