Insert mode on loopers...

["Amleto" <tosleeptodienomore@supereva.it>]

Hy,
i was thinking this:
does anybody know if in any harware looper is there available an insert
mode, so that while this mode is activated if you press record while a loop
is playing it will insert the new sound in the middle of the loop from 
where
you started recording? Even if you recorded a silence?
Also, in every looper i know the lenght of aloop is determined by the first
sound recorded on the empty loop. So, if further you want to record a 
longer
phrase you can't if not as in repeater by multiplying a track or generating
a silence at is end. Both unfortunately unexact methods, because you can't
know a priori how long it will be the new pfrase, not if you want to
improvise quickly.
Does anybody know if in any looper there is a way to avoid this?
Well, also, in repeater there are four track per loop. You can record a
longer sound at first, on track one, and then a shorte one on track two.
Supposing they are starting together, the one in track two will end before
and will have to wait the first one to start again with it. Do you know if
in repeater or in other loopers or sampler able to have separates tracks is
there a way to let the shorter track reapeat itself just when it ends,
without waiting the longer one?
Oh, idea, it could be done by multiplying the shorter track...
Well, but, if the shorter track is the second that you've recorded, if
multiplying it you will overpass the lenght of the first track, how can you
do it if it says that the lenght of the loop is the one determined by the
first track recorded?
Mmm...
Ciao,
Sergio...
ps: is there another hardware looper able to control separately many tracks
as repeater does?
