We offer such function in the EDP as "Rehearse"
Set InsertMode to "rhr" (default)
Set the loop lenght with RECORD-INSERT and it will keep repeating once.
As soon as you are happy with the last cycle, press INSERT to keep it 
"frozen" or press OVERDUB to keep overdubbing...
If you have a pedal connected and are in Stu mode (only LOOP4), you 
can set the FB separately, just for the Rehearse phase.
