Hi Marcus, I'm not sure if you really are talking about multiple loops or if you are meaning multiple layers of one loop? When I used an EDP I usually set it to "More Loops = 5". With that setting I was able to record a first quick loop and then go to the next loop while copying the content of the first loop. Then might add some more layers to loop 2 for a while and cool things down again by going back to loop 1 (while playing over it without overdubbing - still keeping loop 1 as the original recording). Then I jumped from loop 1 into loop 3 while copying the content of loop 1 and started layering different tonal parts into loop 3. etc, etc... With this technique you can set up a song very quickly, but keep in mind that you have to start with making a first loop that will work together with a lot of the other loops to come. A second way is to use the Undo button. A third way is to use feedback. A fourth way is to use Substitute in combination with a setting that lets you mix how much of the old audio layers will be kept under the new slices you cut into the loop. This only works in the alternative performance modes. I found Replace Mode to work best for me, but I know that for example Andy Butler (that knows more about the EDP than I do) prefers Expert Mode. I lended my EDP to a friend some years ago and have not got it back yet, so I'm focusing on Mobius only now for looping.
