RE: Multiply Function on EDP

["ARTHUR LEE MUSIC" <arthurlee@arthurleemusic.com>]

They are close but they are not exact. It'll be a persussion part that's
just a groove so if it were only to take half of the phrase for the last 
one
it would be fine but not for the entire song so I guess Hans' first method
wouldn't work and the second one is too much to deal with when I don't
really know how many bars they song really is when I start the loop.
I used the number 19 as a random number for getting my point across.
I run into this problem when I loop a long Dylan song that has odd 
measures.
I know I'm taking a chance when I do it cuz I'm doing it on the fly but it
would be nice if it would just quantize itself.

Thanks for pointing this Matthias. Any other ideas? Maybe this could be a
change for the next software edition.

Sorry, I did not see that when I posted my answer (because you
screwed the subject, Hans ;-)

Amazing different answers. It seems that Hans understands that the
two bars of the original loop are equal... are they, Arthur?
