For each user-defined function, you can program up to eight commands.   
Thus, a user-defined "Play Once" would have two steps: "Play Now" then  
"Stop".

The loop would start immediately and will stop when it reaches the end  
of the loop.

The User-defined commands are available via 4 programmable user  
buttons on the front panel, MIDI CC messages, and MIDI PGM Change  
messages.  (My wish list item is to allow Note messages to be  
programmable, too.)

Yes, you can multiply like crazy!

For example, you could record one bar then expand it to 12 by programming:

"Double" then "Triple".  Note that, given the eight steps, you could  
create very large mults with a single command.

There is a cue command, but I haven't put it to use yet.  I've owned  
my LP1 for 1 1/2 years and I'm still exploring it.
