yes, that's very possible. That is what the TimeCopy function does. It
works just like the loopcopy function, except the sound of the previous
loop is not copied to the new one, only its time base. You set it to work
automatically with the loopcopy parameter = ti. Or, if you have
switchquantizing on, you can do it anytime. (described in the manual in the
SwitchQuant section.)

When you use timecopy, it is like you are doing the Insert function into a
new loop. Because of that, we have you actually end the loop record by
pressing Insert button, to complete that idea. So when you have timecopy on
and you press NextLoop to go to a new loop, you see it start recording
immediately. If you press Insert, it rounds off to the next cycle point,
based on the previous loop time. (you can let it go longer and do multiples
of the previous loop time as well, you will see the multiple display count
up just like with a normal insert.)

You can also end the loop record immediately by pressing Record. This gives
you flexibility, if you want you have your loop be exactly the same length
as the previous loop or you can choose to cut it off at any length. Try it,
you'll see it's very easy.

hope this helps.
