Oh, so the live input will not be layered on top of the stuttered  
loop then? Excellent! I didn't know this. That's useful.

Yes, I just noticed that Mobius has this command "SUSStutter" (which  
is not available as a direct MIDI command with the EDP/Loop4). But it  
doesn's work the same way in Mobius (actually I can't fine a  
difference in Mobius between SUSStutter and SUSMultiply...?). I  
guess, on the EDP you need to change Interface Mode to "Stu"? It  
would have been great if it had been implemented as a direct MIDI  
command.
