The Loop4 software does the Loop3 stuff better.
A number of bug fixes.
Better more accurate MIDI sync.
Numeric display of feedback.
Improved NextLoop options.
Consistant Rounding behaviour (whatever that is:-)
...etc

So even if you don't want glitchy stuff,
stutters, loop windowing, half speed,
the ability to set tempo manually,
presets, and the new Interface Modes
( which exploit every posssible rational use
of  the feedback pedal, and one irrational one)
it's still worth going to loop 4

For a beginner, using basic functions, Loop4
works the same as Loop3.
Its only when you get to the really advanced Loop3 stuff
that's there's any difference, in which case there isn't 
much advantage to learning all the loop3 quirks if you're 
going to upgrade to loop4.

Loop4 makes it very easy to achieve some very unusual effects
even for a beginner (controlling them musically might come later;-)


Kim's new manual replaces the two 
(loop3 + loop4 additions ) manuals currently
available, and improves upon them.
Should be online soon.
