Frank Zappa once said, "play a mistake once, it's a mistake. Play a mistake twice, it's a composition".

usually, a "mistake" is just something you didn't mean to play. If you are quick on your feet you can probably make something cool out of it.

What you have here is rich people's problems. Just go deeper into the octatrack and find all the other cool shit it does and make those mistakes into gold, brother... it probably does a whole bunch of stuff no other looper does, right? Do those things... then smile

Man, it is 36 years that I try not to make mistakes, but unfortunately I do make them, often the same ones :)
I wait for Anders to understand from him how he uses the OT with no undo.
But as you are so sure that one can do no mistakes (sure? Todd, live performance, you get excited, no mistakes, ever?), I am interested in knowing, from you and from the others, what else apart for the practice could you suggest to organize the workflow with a looper with no undo, to avoid being in a situation where you build a wonderful loop and at the last overdub you mess it up.

****don't give into the temptation, don't say it... don't say it... don't.... don't say "stop making mistakes then you won't need undo".... don't say it, don't say it****
