I was particularly fond of stutter mode myself found it very useful.
Right now getting scripting seems to have become a higher priority and some
alternate endings aren't working exactly like an EDP.
Why not signup and nudge Jeff on some of these feature or better yet push
the envelope a little that seems to be something you manage to do pretty
well Andy :) It could only serve to make Mobius better yet

hi Jeff
Your take on Loop Windowing sounds very promising.


"Reverse Snipplets" was an effect that was easy in loop3.
Ending a Multiply with Reverse would cause the loop length to be cut where
the Reverse was pressed( UnRounded Multiply) so I could play a short phrase
over a loop, and then have it Reversed and Repeated , with a small section
of loop as backing. By using Nextloop to create the "Snipplet" it was
possible to leave the original loop intact and return to it.

In Loop4 the Multiply function was improved so that alternate endings would
still give a RoundMultiply, and Reverse Snipplets required a second press 
of
Reverse to make them happen (not so easy to get good timing on what is
anyway a difficult technique to pull off)

Against his better judgement, I eventually persuaded Matthias to put
"Reverse Snipplets" into Loop4.
"The Hidden UnroundedMultiply Reverse Function" (in the manual) was the
result.
As far as I know, only Andre LaFosse ever found the function.

   "Snipplets" is a word in a language called Switznglish, the meaning is
self evident.
