Does this mean I'm the Big Lebowski of LoopIV?  ;)

Actually a lot of that show was using Replace in an UNquantized manner,
but executing it rhythmically - "riding bareback," so to speak.  But
there was certainly some 8th-quantization towards the end of the set.

Just out of curiosity, here: am I to understand from your comment that
one of the specific ideas behind 8th-quantization was to harness the
glitch stuff into a more overly rhythmic fashion?  And am I correct in
assuming that you were the main guy who brought 8th-quant to the table?

Amen!
