Well I don't have the beast myself but from the userguide: ----- from userguide----- "There are several operating modes that can be selected. The mode numbers are shown below. More operational details of these modes will be described in section 5. You can also switch from any mode to reverse mode and/or half speed mode during playback using MIDI controls. Modes 31-40: Automatic Fading of a Loop Operating modes 31-40 cause the loop playback to fade away over time (...). The first note starts the initial record process, which continues until the event count is reached. The number of loops required to completely fade the signal is determined by the mode number minus 30. Manual layering can be used in this mode. New layers will start at full volume and then fade over time like the original loop. This allows interesting effects such as continuous layering of new musicpassages. Loop playback can be stopped with the double press of a footswitch. Modes 41-50: Automatic Fading of a Loop with Auto Layering Operating modes 41-50 are the same as the automatic fading modes described above,except that automatic layering is used during loop playback as shown in the figure below. This mode can be used to create feedback delay effects. The number of loops required to completely fade the signal is determined by the mode number minus 40.This example assumes the footswitch starts the initial record process, which continues until the event count is reached. A single footswitch press will stop playback at the end of the current loop. A double footswitch press stops the loop playback immediately. Modes 61-70: Duplicate Loop During First Layer Recording A given loop can be duplicated multiple times during the first layer recording using operating modes 61-70. This can be useful if you have a short phrase that you want to play back multiple times while you record a longer phrase over it.The number of repeat times is set by the operating mode minus 60. If the selected number of duplications exceeds the memory capacity, then next lower value is used.The example below shows operating mode 62. After loop playback begins, the first press of a footswitch for layer recording will duplicate the loop 2 times while a new layer is recorded on top of it. The display will count down the number of duplications left while the original loop is played. After this layer recording is complete, the longer loop will start playing back. From this point forward, it acts the same as operating mode 10 in which multiple additional layers can be recorded with no additional duplication. Once a new layer has been recorded, the right LED will turn from yellow to green. This process can be repeated indefinitely. The playback can be stopped at any time with the double press of the footswitch." ----- from userguide end ----- So it seems there's a kind of feedback and a kind of multiply (only on second layer). It's no EDP but it's not the same price either. You'd better know in advance the "structure of the song", you can't change the mode on the fly (except reverse mode and/or half speed mode).
