or extend length of loop without being restricted to a length
which is a whole no. of the old length (Repeater can't do in one step).

This can also be done with a JamMan in Delay mode, although the effect
is different as you still build up overdubs on the short length of loop 
while
defining the long loop length.
.....unfortunatly you almost always get a click when you do this.

...well..er...not quite.
The 8th Quantised Sub (or Replace) that Andre likes so much 
is a special feature designed to do something unique.
Basically you replace sections of loop, but you do it a
single beat at a time. 
The easiest way is to play sustained notes, then (with the
correct setup) each single short press of a button transfers a small 
section
of that note into the loop. You get to decide how many chunks 
you divide the loop into.
By the time you've replaced most of the "beats" in the loop
this way you have a sound reminiscent of an analog step 
sequencer, perfectly in time with the loop length.

This effect is just possible in Loop3, but much harder to do.

Perhaps I should do a demo that makes this obvious.

I don't think any other looper ever had an Insert function at all.

Andre has this new technique to repeat small sections of the loop, which 
then stay in the loop (loop gets longer).
This depends on a new Interface Mode called Stutter Mode.


The EDP Loop4  does loads of new stuff, 
we haven't had time to find a fraction of all the new
tricks that are going to be possible.
