You can merge loops, adjust levels on KO2, in a way...

Great I'll try that when I'm next in front of my kit thanks!

Hi all... great trick, this! Just the thing I wanted. Only problem is I'm having trouble getting the loop to record with the correct timing. It doesn't seem to load to the pad I choose with the first beat at the start of the loop, for example the loop will often start with a snare or just before the first beat. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, I'll describe it:

I put down a beat, (holding the left pad before starting to play, and it's one of the pattern beats, breaks 2)
Then put a bassline down on the right pad
Goto the master recorder
Start the beat and bassline, wait till after the 4th beat and start recording
When done, hit fnc + left pad, then load,
go upper folder twice, then to record, record00,
scroll down and select that I just recorded
the menu asks to select which loop (I or II), I select I
then I get "Load setting?": No, Cancel, Yes... I select yes.

So... loop loaded, I play the left pad and it hasn't started on the first beat.
Also, last time I tried it loaded the first half (4 beats) into the whole loop (8 beats). I tried re-setting the length to 4 than back to 8, no luck.

I've tried hitting record just after beat 4 and just before beat 8 and in between, it seems to record immediately (i think...).

Any clues?
