i'd like to point out that "Multiply", your example from earlier in 
this debate, was also used by Robert Fripp on the TC2290 around the 
same time that the EDP came out.

Bob's not a gearhead, so i'm going to assume that the multiply trick on 
the 2290 (very carefully changing the delay time to a "multiple" of the 
current value by entering a new one on the numeric keypad) was taught 
to him by David Sylvian, who recommended the device to him in the first 
place, which would place that particular looping performance technique 
in square parallel to the Paradis LoopDelay.

i could very well be wrong about this supposition, so anyone who knows 
better please step to the plate and correct me on this.
