Usually recording a loop is non-quantized ;-)

I wouldn't say that most processing is quantised,
if anything the opposite, but indeed there are ways 
to reduce latency problems and quantise is one of them.

Yes, if the manufacturer does not test for latency it can
easily creep up to be too much for live looping.

I worked out a simple way to test relative latency very accurately 
and would make that method available to any manufacturer
who was interested. (one taker so far)
