the lexicon vortex can do two independant loops of different length
simultaneously. the ratio of loops lengths will be N/M where N and M are
whole numbers between 1 and 64. the loops can not exceed 1 second each.
I think you can have seperate outs for each loop

the other idea I had was to use the repeater's slip function to fake it.
record two tracks. slip one forward by a constant number of ms each time
it
repeats. if this works out how I imagine you'd get something simlar to 2
loops, with lengths differing by however much you slipped the slippery
track forward by on each cycle. But I bet it'd be silent while slipping,
so it'd work better for sparse pointilistic stuff. or with a small slip.
I imagine you could do this with all the tracks simultaneously with
various
constant or not midi specified

anybody know if this'd work? Damon Langlois?
