hi Kris,

I believe (although of course I'm to some extent guessing) that there
would be a great alternative to UnRounded Mult.
Which would be to simply start another un-synced loop.

For "overdubbing" a rhythm onto a free loop that would in some ways 
actually
be better, avoiding the glitch where the loop is joined.

Or are you into redefining the rhythm on an existing loop?
