no there isn't. reread my post. You are confusing it with the loopcopy 
parameter which just gives a way to automate it. I'm talking about the 
more 
general purpose copy method using switchquant and Next-Multiply. you can 
always copy into a loop whether it is empty or not, and choose if you want 
to copy at all. You have the power.

right. Next-Multiply.

it's even easier than that already.

You have the whole day off tomorrow. after your hangover clears up, get 
out 
the manual. Sit with it. Read the switchquantize section. Turn off the 
loopcopy parameter. Push buttons. have fun!
