Some of the best sound and vid quality I've seen on a YouTube demo video.
The Q3 is perfect for this.

Right, so we're in grid time here.
Question: now track 1 is master, will track 2 be recorded to sync with it
even when track 1 is stopped?

Yes, the "Except" command is not available in v1.34d.
I found with v1.37 that i had problems with dropouts at the beginning of a
recorded loop ( and this was generally a sign that the LP1 would end up
crashing).
(I suspect this may be due to my use of smaller loops to create rhythm ala
EDP.)
With v1.34d a different approach is needed as it needs some Groups set up
specially.
Group 1: tracks 234
Group 2: tracks 134
Group 3: tracks 124
Group 4: tracks 123
presets with the following commands:
selectTrack(1), cueTrack , selectGroup(1), stop, selectTrack(1)
selectTrack(2), cueTrack , selectGroup(2), stop, selectTrack(2)
selectTrack(3), cueTrack , selectGroup(3), stop, selectTrack(3)
selectTrack(4), cueTrack , selectGroup(4), stop, selectTrack(4)

the above 1.34d solution would (obviously) work with 1.37.
...and it would allow a beatbox track to be recorded on track 5 which could
be master.
The the Record function would still be initialised.

ps.
The new firmware for the Gordius LG2 will
be able to do shortpress/longpress.
e.g. on one switch a short press starts record,
...a longpress erases the loop
That's going to really give the LP1 a boost.
