okay, in a pattern... lets say that I want to make a 4 bar drum loop, 
but an 8 bar melody... is there a way i can just play out the drums 
for 4 bars, then have them repeat for the next 4 instead of having to 
play them for the whole 8 my melody is going for?

help would be GREATLY appreciated here...
