thank you for the translation,

nice
so could record A & B parts separately, and then let them play in
harmony later.

so looks like simultaneous un-synced loops
are possible :-)

This is a great way to control Multiple loops.
One set of simple controls which
work on just one loop at a time.

well, what if you could switch patches (each with their stored loops)
without stopping playback?

wonder what the feedback level would be?

so the equivalent in EDP speak would be "Record from play"

that's EDP Replace
So if it had feedback control (per Phrase),
and the ability to sync the phrases in a non 1:1 ratio
(which would allow a simulation of the common use of EDP Multiply)
then we'd be only be concerned about the lack of pitch shift.
Wonder how well it syncs to MIDI clock, and
how glitchy the loop boundary gets when you Overdub in MIDI sync.
