Several ways, actually: 1) Use UnRounded Multiply (ending Multiply with Record) while playing a rhythmic figure, and hit record (to end the multiply) in time with the new rhythm you're playing, so you have a new loop that's been redefined to the length of the rhythm you're playing. 2) Set sync=out, take an audio cable out of the beatsync jack, and use the click track which ensues (which the EDP automatically generates when sync=out, according to the value of 8th/beat) as an audible reference of where the pulse is within the loop. 3) Use the flashing tempo LED in LoopIV to get a visual cue of where the pulse is within the loop, and overdub material using the LED as a reference. 4) Use 8th/beat quantization in LoopIV to drop new material into the loop via Replace or Substitute. For an example of this technique in action: http://www.altruistmusic.com/soundfiles/glitch.mp3 5) Use Insert=SUS in Stutter Mode to "stretch" sections within a cycle, in order to elongate different sections until an originally arythmic loop starts assuming a tangible rhythmic form. Examples: http://shoko.calarts.edu/~altruist/generator.mp3 or http://www.altruistmusic.com/ram/ttgtr2.ram That's what I can think of right now, anyway... --Andre
