RE: stretching words

[Sean Echevarria <sean.loop@creepingfog.com>]

The Eventide H3500 series units (maybe 3000 series too?) have a 
stutter algorithm that can be used to create Max Headroom type 
effects.  IIRC, Dr. Z made use of them in his treatment of My 
Generation at the first Loopstock.  The stutter algorithm is not 
available in post 3500 units.
