...understandable

The Looperlative will of course respond to commands that are sent when the 
switch is released,
but it doesn't itself have any SUS functionality.

For QReplace the Looperlative has a delay built in.
When you start a QReplace the Looperlative won't respond to any new 
commands
until it's finished.
QReplace>QReplace>EndSequence will replace exactly one chunk of audio.
..and Multiple presses of that button will produce a very nice alternation
of Replaced and unaltered chunks.

I don't think the LP1 can do SUS with a controller that just sends 
Note-Off on release.
...has anyone tried getting the LP1 to midi-learn a Note-Off?
