All about Nextloop When you only have one loop (Moreloops=1) NextLoop now acts as a Retrigger: it starts the loop from the beginning on each press. For instant stutter repeats you can hit Record, then you can move your foot across to "NextLoop". The first press ends the record, and starts the first playback. Then each press of NextLoop restarts the loop. (all this not to be confused with the new Stutter Mode, which is a different thing entirely) with multiple loops:- in loop3 using NextLoop to end a Recording just ends the record, as if you finished the recording with another press of the record button. in Loop4 you can go straight to the next loop, and start recording (AutoRecord=On) This allows you to record all the sections of a piece of music at the beginning of the piece. (or a series of notes to use as samples) The SwitchQuant parameter has new values which work in a Quantised way, these allow you to select the loop in advance and confirm when you want to go to it, (just like SwitchQuant=Cnf) but the EDP still waits for the end of the loop(or Cycle) before it changes over to the new loop. This solves the problem of the "lame duck period" (as it is called in the Loop3 manual) With Loop 3 if you want the changover to happen exactly at the end of the loop you need to use Nextloop to select the loop, then if you want to use any extra functions (like Multiply for instance) you have to hit that as well. If the loop is short you don't have time to select the loop you want to go to and also the function you want to use. Loop4 solves all this, you get all the time you need and still change exactly at the end of the loop. And when SwitchQuant isn't set to "OFF", a Long press of NextLoop selects loop number 1. ..........and all that just for one button andy butler
