Charlie;
Once the initial loop length is established - ie: tap in/ record/ tap 
out. - then tap in again for layering.  While the loop is "open" you 
should - I haven't owned a Jamman for years but do remember doing this 
- be able to send the midi fade command at which point as the loop 
fades you can still layer material which will also fade - in effect the 
looper acts like a delay with less than 100% feedback.  Check it out 
and let me know if I'm remembering correctly.
