I have the latter...I was kinda hoping to be able to leave it at home 
but oh well :-)

More specifically, I was hoping to be able to use a short (single-
cycle) loop across a percussion sample to get a buzzy wave with lots 
of overtones for filtering. Again, I can always turn to the Morpheus 
for this.

Heh. It's a funky little box even with the correct loop pointers. 
Unfortunately it bogs down under moderately heavy input, and there's 
nothing in the way of MIDI sync, something the Audity and its 
children have greatly improved on. Rothwell has (had?) a UP as well...

That's fine as long as it doesn't interrupt the sequencer.

Thanks.
