RE: repeater loop multiply limitation?

Multiply does take place immediately. It's just "virtual" until an overdub
it done. The FIRST overdub onto the multiplied track has to complete one
full loop record cycle which "flattens" the track. If you leave the overdub
early Repeater will finish the cycle for you. Once the multiply is
"flattened" you have no restrictions.

If you record to a new track, instead of overdubbing, there are no
restrictions...plus you get some very cool benefits with memory usage. 
i.e.
You could have a 1 bar (3 second) drum loop on track 1, Multiply it out to
12 bars, record your 12 bar (36 second) guitar loop on track 2 and you have
used a total of 38 seconds of memory. If you now overdub on track one and
"flatten" it your memory usage would be 72 seconds. In other words you can
have longer loops that take up less memory.
