congratulations!
this is what we call substitute now. In Loop3 its "rehearse" and can 
only be reached at the beginning by Record-Insert (when 
InsertMode=rhr) and you come out of it with either Overdub or Insert.
In Loop4 there is a InsertMode Sub which makes Insert do what you 
invented by MIDI, exept that its toggeling or sustaining, depending 
on how long you press!
