"Track Speed"? That must be "Looperlative-ish". I assign a lot of
looper parameters to CC by the LG. But the issue with Mobius is that
Speed Shift is snapping to semi note values - if talking pitch, loop
length changes too of course with the "vari-speed" tweak. I can live
with that tough, fast sweeps sound like seamless transpositions if you
don't listen like a purist (after all, music is about showing attitude
by implying gestures - not about perfection)

Ultra cool!

Loved that effect back when I was using a Repeater. :-)

That's something I dig! Love it when the rhythm falls apart as
multiple simultaneous loops pitch shift into forming new chords. I
find it interesting to explore what new rhythmic relations are born
with certain tonal intervals and use that knowledge when improvising
music.
