Re: Survey: Echoloop + LG Users: Instant Multiply?



Bill you are also correct :)

One tap to Multuply, play as one likes while the cycles spool ever onward, 
tap again to close… it’s marvelous and fluid.

In this case my intention was much more specific: about rigid song 
structure and reducing complexity and potential for human error within 
that.

Phil :)
