I suspect the code you have in mind are these two Shuffle This/That
scripts, pasted in below. I just want to put them up here as well so
anyone interested can follow the discussion. The idea was to get
something better than Loop Windowing on the EDP, since I never liked
having to truncate down the longer loop to a short snippet in order to
get Loop Windowing happening and I also often found it to be a bit too
much of randomness (sometime resulting in less good cut-outs - gave a
sour taste of "Cubase Interactive Phrase Synthesizer" ;-))  But I
admit I have not been able to find a musical use for these shuffle
scripts yet. I can't help thinking that Mobius UNDO does the job
equally well and with a lot less fuzz. I mean, you can even skip over
parts of your UNDO history - sort of "throw them into the bin". And
all by only two pedals in use... well maybe you need three: Undo,
Redo, Checkpoint.
