RE: Mind Boggling LoopIV

In trying to understand Stutter mode I took a few minutes to listen
intensively to "Generator" to try to analyze what you were doing (when I
should be doing other things :-). A lot happens fast but it is a great
exercise to try to "name that function". *Correct* me, fill in the blanks
and elaborate if you can, just with the first half-minute or so:

1. Single 1/4 note played once
2. Immediately multiplied into staccato 16ths
3. Becomes 1/4 note again (is that an Undo?)
4. Half-speed: which becomes basic loop (in 'bass' register)
5. Harmonics layed on top using overdub? or insert?
6. at 0:40 Reversed, further processing

Etc...

Up to the :30 mark, this is just a single loop?

What I'm trying to get up to speed on is the Insert functions behaviour in
Stutter mode (away from my EDP, using words, which is a sign of how much
this thing has gotten under my skin). You say

>>>There is also a "SingleCycle Multiply" available in Stutter mode when
Insertmode=Insert, and causes stuttery repetitions of cycles within a
loop.>>>

Is that how you get that effect early in this piece? where it sounds like
only the overdub is changing, and the basic loop is unaffected. Is that 
what
subcycle multiply sounds like.

It is confusing to talk about (even you admit it), but thought I'd keep my
eye on the ball for a while..

Thanks
