It's funny to remember that Matthias actually designed the EDP for
exactly the opposite: make slow and smooth transitions of a loop's
content into new content. His style as a live looping artist focuses
on morphing a loop over  time in an organic flow - typically working
with Feedback to do this.

I just kept it set to the highest number of loops I would ever need
for certain songs - and that happened to be five. Here's the song that
requires making five loops:

Normally I prefer working with as few loops as possible, sometimes
speed shifting a loop to get a new time measure and tonal
transposition (for "chord vamps"). But that's since I migrated to
Mobius. BTW, the video was done with Mobius, but everything except the
speed shifting works just as well on an EDP.
