RE: [xl7] Re: Will a Command Station suite my needs?

I think the trick is to set the loop length to the length you want the
phrase you're currently recording to be... If you want to record a 4 bar
loop over a 16 bar bar loop, you have to set the length to 4 bars. If you
leave the loop length at 16 bars and just record for 4 bars, you end with a
16 bar loop that plays for 4 bars followed by 12 bars of silence, if you see
what I mean.

I can understand why you think it can't do this, cause I seem to remember it
saying in the manual somewhere that you couldn't change the loop length once
you'd recorded a phrase, but it looks they were either wrong or talking
about something else...

Regards,

Stu

  Huh- well that was specificlaly my issue- having one
  4-bar track looping while another 32-bar track played
  out.

  Maybe I just wasnt using it correctly.
