Hey Ed
You did not miss much. The looper (A & B Sections) is just that…a simple looper. What it enables however, is a simplified and seamless way to explore the countless variations that exist w/in Scaler w/out needing to constantly click play. You can start playback and make changes to your heart’s content…something not available before Auto Play.
Depending on how you calculate it, Scaler contains hundreds of thousands of potential variations (@yorkeman can give you the #s). For some us, exploring those variations is a big part of using Scaler. Nothing earth shattering, but very helpful for those of us constantly on the hunt for those happy accidents. When Scaler inspires itself…or fun with recursion - General Discussion - Scaler Plugin - Community Forum
This feature just makes it that much easier.
