Yeah, but you couldjust cut the end point of an individual track so that it will loop at a different number of bars than the other tracks, plus you couldcut the first track (determines default loop length) right from the get-go...make it 12 or 14 bars, or better yet, 28 bars, then program some funk beats in non 4/4 time sigs... sounds patternless to most non-musicians/casual listenners. Also, if you make the snares (in funk) come down with a little flam=late time by about 30(/240pqn) you get a more sincere r&b groove.
