Kim,

With my DJRND2, there is no crossfade between endpoint and startpoint
during a loop recording !

I just record the phrase just as it is without any signal processing,
and except in specific cases, it works in 99 percent most of the time
due to my tempo accuracy.

But shure this device is more designed for Djs than for musicians, and
of course more critical with basslines on live.
