yes, thats in case of wanting less longer cycles at constant loop 
lenght, a very special task
I was talking about reducing loop length to less cycles (keeping 
cycle lenght), just basic multiply...

sometimes, but mostly it creates a longer loop than I tap or it 
repeats a slightly different part, I dont quite understand...

again, thats a special function... and you are right, its hard to use 
without that visual feeback on how many you have got.

yes, thats what I mean. and even more so the total number of cycles 
while multiplying.
