One thing that the Looperlative does which helps this is 
that once you have a footswitch set up to do an 8th replace
it responds in an interesting way to multiple taps.
It will automatically
do as many replaces as you do taps with a gap between each.
That makes it very easy to get some kind of recognisable rhythm happening.

You probably already sussed that it's easier to get lucky with a usable
rhythm if you start out with a shorter loop (e.g. 8 beats long).

Whenever you use 8th replace the spirit of andy butler is looking
over your shoulder and whispering random facts about edp features.
