Yes, I never felt the lack of speed adaption as strongly as in those
dance sessions. We just naturally want to speed up and down.
But you can change quickly with Record-Multiply, if your loop is
simple enough. The resulting rhythm may be temporarily strange, but
you fix that quickly.

dont quite understand... is that what I call "to switch the loop off" ? :-)

but you cannot load the loops quickly enough, probably...
The solution would rather be the Repeater, although I dont know
whether the speed adaption would happen as exactly as we would like,
since turning on the speed knob is probably not appropriate and retap
a new speed woud change too quickly...
Repeater users: Can you keep taping tempo and it follows smoothly?
