Yup.  Got too much going on playing to want to deal with anything after 
the point I tell the loop to start.  JamMan spoiled me.

Yeah, pretty much exactly like that.  Think of a record being 
scratched.  I've been doing this with a Numark Axis 9 CD player, but  
you've got to pre-record your loop for that to work.  I'd love to have 
that functionality on the fly.

Well, we're talking the future right?  Where everything is possible!  
I'd imagine you could have all the serial EDP functions available to 
each loop, plus be able to choose to run some of them parallel.

I don't know, I'm not an EDP owner.
