That's just the Insert function on the EDP. That's always been there, it 
doesn't require any update. You can insert either segments of time 
perfectly equal to your existing loop cycle times, or you can just insert 
a 
fragment independent of that. Simple to use, all works in real time. You 
can insert at the end or beginning or somewhere in the middle, wherever 
you 
choose. With quantize you can force it to happen exactly at the loop 
startpoint, or you can do it "free" and unquantized, whenever you tap. 
Repeater doesn't have any insert function. I didn't think the jamman did 
either, so I'm not sure what this fellow was doing. Maybe that's part of 
Bob's update.
