Loopers do it repeatedly (was Re: Fw: THIS IS FOR REAL. (THIS IS A LOOP BASED MUSIC LIST!)

The funniest thing about this thread (besides Mr. Sottilaro) 
is that it triggered the following serious thought:  
do loopers know how to quit?

This has been a frustration for me lately.  There are the 
obvious two choices:  repeat and fade, and abrupt stop 
(usually during a rest).  Also, there's the obvious variation
of de-evolution -- I.E., if you've built up a loop with layers,
deconstruct it back down by removing layers, but when you're
down to the last loop, be it the one you started with, or a
different one, you still have to make one of the two above
choices.  I've been thinking of trying to "morph" from a loop
to live playing, but have not been successful in an accurate
resemblance of the loop, so I usually go for a completely
different sound, but maybe playing the same riff.  Any other
ideas?

Favourite license plate (un-loop-related):  PLAN A (and then
written on the bumper: "HEAD")
