I found this insteresting for LD, so I copy it... Didnt we recently 
talk about the Alaska looping scene?

I curently use
- Feedback of the EDP
- mix clean-distorted
- 2 parameters for the PCM80
- Reverb Time / Volume of the PCM90
- dry Volume

I personally dont do this, because my music is not "structured" :-)
but on a EDP or Repeater or Roland RC20 you can

>Could you set up sliders to smooth the transitions?

not that I know, unless you have the several parts on separate tracks 
of the Repeater, which you probably could do on the gnx3, too, no?

>I do know loopersdelight.

hmm... but you dont like it? :-)

Does not seem to be on the way from Brasil to Europe, but if someone 
cares for the trip, sure!
