As a looper maker, I really like the simplicity and directness of your
app's interface.  The one thing that is holding it back for me, and is
probably on your TODO list, is the ability for the loops to be
different lengths than the master loop.  Just letting the other loops
be multiples of the master length would really be a huge gain for
relatively small effort.  Believe me, I know it's a bit more work than
it sounds.... I've been there.

Do you have a reference to 3.1s possible ability to prioritize touch
events over redraws?
