Difficult to explain in words because a looper script sounds all  
different depending on what sounding audio you keep feeding the  
looper while the script goes on. So I'm pasting in the script below  
for you to read. Since this particular piece of music happened in 6/8  
I used my 6/8 version. Other timings look a little different. The  
full script title is quite informative: "Chromatic Rate Shift Waves".

Also note that I use this script in "Interfac Mode = Expert" which  
means the SUSSubstitute feedback is linked to the setting of  
Alternative Feedback, which in the example clip was set to full  
(equalling "Overdub").

Also note that Alternative Feedback under Expert Mode is broken in  
the latest Mobius beta, so this script loses a lot of its performance  
power (I've been waiting hopefully for this bug to be fixed for quite  
some beta versions, don't remember exactly. Guess it's just not a  
priority).

The cool thing with this, and similar long duration scripts, is that  
it affects the performed music for it's double length. What happens  
when you run the script is that the loop is going faster and slower,  
raising and falling in pitch, behind your playing. Then on the second  
run (maybe some 30 seconds later) the old loop comes back, now  
punctuated with "hits" that slow down, speed up, raise or fall in pitch.

I know the script can be written a lot shorter with todays updated  
Mobius scripting, but when I first did it we didn't have the Repeat  
line available. I will fresh up all my similar scripts as soon as a  
the above mentioned bug is fixed, so it makes more sense using these  
scripts.
