This sounds too sad to me!

The whole operation concept of the EDP is based on opening and 
closing functions, there is almost nothing you can do with just one 
press. Just imagine the number of keys (and foot switches!) necessary 
to access all in one hit!
At least we avoided the "press two keys at once" kind of operation.

If you just want to copy to the next loop with the same lenght, you 
use either SoundCopy or NextMultiply, both functions based on 
Multiply which is rounding. So to close, you dont press RECORD, but 
MULTIPLY again, and there is no need to press it exactly, since it 
rounds up to entire cycles.
In turn, this allows you to start loop 2 with a multiply lengh of 
loop 1, which is a rather common case, since you may have a short 
base in loop 1 and build a song part in loop 2 and a different song 
part with the same base in loop 3.

In other words: In case the loop you want to copy has no multiples in 
it, you can press the closing MULTIPLY immediately and let it round. 
That easy, no?
