Re: Suck because you're Looping ?

[Goddess <thefates@earthlink.net>]

  Actually, the Jam Man can.  I've done it.  What it does, is to
arbitrarily start the loop from it's beginning, after it's played through,
to fill the new space when the clock is slowed, and then restart again at
the proper pulse, or do the opposite, and cut off the end of the loop and
restart to keep in sync when the clock is sped up.   So you end up with
loops of differing lengths intersperced with eachother.  It's actually very
cool.
