hmm... we did not really beleave the supply story, did we?

uau! So please dont make another war if the soft is not ready in march!
I had a loop going in the loop delay after a month, and after a year 
it was as bug free as you heard about :-) ... well, I had no 
experience either...

awsome... I wait for one of those...

I especially wonder whether a slight stretching introduces no artefacts? 
;-)

AMS did that in the early eighties, but it costed twenty times more!

yes, please, connect to a clock source and change the speed a bit to 
see whether the loop realy follows exactly without artefacts, that 
would be my favourite feature!
I am somewhat tired of the constant speed loops, the "beat prison".
