Whether the loop is four bars, or eight, or even sixteen (thank you, Korg!), the fill remains the same every time you use it. A dead giveaway, IMO (and no thank you to Korg for only the two and a break/Fill system!).
People will often notice the repetition in a fill more than the repetition in a loop...
Diki...yes all valid points ....so where are we left with all this & when if ever will major strides in arranger technology ever come our way or will it be a very slow process hoping that every TEN Years something amazing will be introduced for us to buy and play. I just really stopped getting myself excited & have relegated myself to a wait & see attitude while I just play what I have to the best of my ability, with workarounds & hopefully all my experience as a performer to make it all come together for my needs. When the time comes & NEW Units are released I will always take a good look at them, try to find and get my hands on it for a good demo, read reviews, read forums, & really check them out to decide if its really for MY Needs & do I really need this attitude? We'll see for sure..
