Sascha, this function alone is worth the price of entry. "This allows
previewing recycled loops in the current songs tempo"
Those are mighty sweet words to my ears.

I'm assuming that this is a new feature in 5.0 because if it has been
possible before and I didn't know about it.............then............I'm
going to have to kill you :-)

Ah Recycle 2! Every once in a long while an application comes along that is
so well thought out and so powerful that it's a pleasure  just to boot it.
Those Propellerhead guys are so incredibly focused. A good piece of work

Rebirth. How great are those people?
