The answer is this:-
"In Loop4 when you end Multiply with Reverse (or any crossfunction) the 
Multiply
first continues until a time which is a whole number a cycles from
when the Multiply was started. Then the Mult ends and Reverse playback 
starts.
This is called Rounding. In Loop3 ending Mult with Reverse was Unrounded,
so reverse playback started as soon as the Reverse was initiated, and the 
loop
length was then redefined."

Actually, believe it or not, this is a good thing, as you can now
use crossfunctions and still keep the same cycle length.
Hitting Reverse a second time during the Mult now has the same
effect in Loop4 as just one press did in Loop3

To achieve instant reverse playback, 
hit Record at the beginning of the phrase, 
and Reverse (by your prefered method) at the end.
...a technique documented by Kim in the 
Loopers Delight EDP Tools of the Trade section.

SwitchQuant=Cnf
MoreLoops=more than one.

get your loop going.
hit Next

now hold down Mult for more than 400ms ( = LongMult)
as soon as you release the Mult button the section of
loop that you heard while holding it down starts repeating backwards
(having been copied to the next loop)

Matthias very kindly programmed this to compensate for
a Loop3 trick that wouldn't otherwise be easy to do in Loop4.

  
its page 29 in the manual.


please ask if this isn't clear, and I'll say it better
when I have more time
