second that.
absolutley... it plays back whatever you give it. and then you can put on
heaps of plugin effex, like those of smartelectronix... you can also route
your sc-input through these fx, etc.
also you don't have to have your files looping in sync to song tempo, you
can just loop them at their "whatevertheyare"-length, overlaying clips from
field recordings, i.e.

it does need quite some processing power though, and i don't get good
latencies with it, which is why personally i don't use live-input with it
(amongst other reasons)...
