Well, I'd like to create a loop that repeats a simple figure a number of 
times, but then has an Insert of something different. 
AAAAAABAAAAAABAAAAAAB 
etc.
...but I want to be able to 'solo' while the simple figure is being 
multiplied.
I can make the loop how I want it, but only by keeping quiet while the 
multiply happens. ( Someone suggested that I use delay mode and muted the 
loop input, but that would get in the way of recording the different 
section 
with Insert) 

I could also use Multiply ended with record to mess with the loop while 
simultaneously playing over it.

Well how about changing the Delay mode so that if you Multiply while in 
the 
Overdub mode (which is now freezing the loop) you don't record an overdub. 
That would seem intuitive.

Why not?

Yes , me too

No, anything but that.

well I'm sure there's more than enough in the new software to keep me 
happy 
anyway, but it doesn't hurt to dream.
