Trying to work out some "cool rhythmic triggering" moves

Roughly it's like this;
Essentially the audio part of the software takes up a fixed
amount of time for each chunk of samples.
Then there's only so much time left over to process commands,
...and those commands need to be processed fast so that the audio
part works right.
So try and do too much at one time and the processor can't keep up.

Now in "normal use" with v1.37 that just doesn't happen.

Bob says there's plenty of scope for optimising the 
software of v1.38, but it's a big job so we're in for a wait
before any new features can be added.

I have
HalfSpeed>Reverse>RecDub 
set up here, that works great.
I have loops going, then press that button on a fresh track,
play a bit of a solo then press that same button again so
it comes back reverse and double speed.
