Hi Tom-

We are planning to do that change for the next software version. There is a
way to do what you want using midi for loop triggering. When you are
recording in a loop and trigger another loop with the appropriate midi
note, it will end the record and immediately jump to the one you want. This
will do what you are looking for, and is actually a much more flexible way
to do it than just using the NextLoop button.

This is in the echoplex FAQ, in the section on multiple loops:
