No, actaully I only need it. Which sucks. Buying things you *want* is
fun.Buying things you *need* is a pain in the ass.

What I DON'T need to do is buy something I can't return only to find out
it's
got a limitation that's yet another problem to solve.

In other words, if I can't have shut down a rhythm guitar loop while 
leaving
the
percussion loop going, I'm no better off than I am with my $250 Loop 
Station
for my particular application.

But, laying awake in bed last night I think I figured out how to do this.

Just be sure to use loop copy when adding a new loop for the rhythm guitar,
then
when turning off the guitar part, switch back to the first loop without the
guitar.

The logic there is a bit less elegant though. Sure the unit does just about
anything,
but there are some logical choices I that seem obvious that it doesn't seem
to do.
Such is the same for anything though I suppose!
