re: ambient vs rhythmic

8th Quantized Substitute == overdub rhythmically (really replace
rhythmically, but lets say overdub because it produces a similar if not the
exact effect).<<<

similar perhaps, in some contexts, but drastically different in others -
what happens if you want to drop in silence, or something much much quieter
than the existing loop? any overdub function is going to be lacking there,
you need a replace function. the JamMan does it in replace mode, and I'm
looking forward to getting that same in/out style replace function on Loop
IV (at the moment, I use the replace function by holding the insert button
down, but it does mean that all the replaced bits are of at a certain
length.) - the granulated replace thing on loop IV sounds like a great
addition... 

with the new half speed on Loop IV, is it possible to record in half speed
from the off, and then double it, ala DL4????

Earlier this week I had two days in the studio recording material for my
next completely solo album - still all recorded 'live' just in the studio
instead of an audience. Having a LOT of fun with the EDP - this is my first
recording with it, and it's really opened up a lot of possibilities...
