Suppose you had a loop 3 and another loop with a length of multiple loop 3's. Then you start and end the recording of another loop at some arbitrary point relative to the first two loops. This would seem fine as long as you never stopped any of the loops. But if you did stop some or all of them how would the system know where to start them again? There may be an answer to that but in the meantime here are a couple of workarounds that might help: 1- Begin recording loop 3. End loop 3 by pressing loop 1. End recording of loop 1 and begin recording loop 2 by pressing loop 2. At the next restart of loop 3 loop 1 will begin playing back and loop 2 will be recording. 2- Use a MIDI clock and the "Free" style. I think this would allow you to start/end recording or playback of up to 4 loops at the nearest 1/4 note regardless of the loop lengths. I need to try this to be sure but I think it might work. Obviously the player would then be responsible for restarting stopped loops at the appropriate times. G
