Hello Henry,
I see you are a cello player.I recently saw Gideon Freudmann in
concert.He
is an excellent cellist and heavily into looping.Check out his CD
"Cellobotomy" among others.I very recently steered him to the Loopers
Delight page so he may show up here.

> o set up a loop in phrased-loop mode
> o use replace to replace the entire loop with silence
