Just to follow up, I looked at the owner's manual and it appears that  
when loop sync is "off" and loop quantize is "on", that you can start  
with a short loop and add another loop that is longer.

The other night I was practicing and somehow I managed to "chop" a  
long loop into a one-bar loop.  I believe what happenned was that,  
having all three loops running, I went to the longest loop and cleared  
it.  Having done that, the longest of the remaining loops became the  
new "overall length".  When the longest loop is merely muted, the  
length doesn't change.

Incidentally, I didn't mean to shorten the loop.  Having visited Rick  
Walker's website I had read his advice to "develop a mistake" rather  
than to discard the mistake.  The short loop "mistake" ended up being  
a lot of fun.  Fortunately, I make enough mistakes that I am able to  
utilize that particular advice often.

I'm going to take a look at Mobius.  I like the RC50 however I am  
running Cubase SX3 (which supports VST) and Mobius might work out very  
well.

OK... back to lurking.
