Re: QUEERY: What samplers are out there let you record and instantaneously play back from a keyboard

Wow, that sounds like it could be immensely useful! How would the loop 
length be determined for each key? Would it be the duration that you're 
holding it down?

Also, would there be a setting so that overdubbing on a key replaces the 
original track? Perhaps an expression pedal or a slider?
