[LAU] composing live w/ loops

[Danni Coy]

This is still the case - Freewheeling is primarily designed to function like a 
hardware looping pedal. albeit a very powerful one. The alternative way of 
getting samples into freewheeling if you must if you really must (and miss out 
on the fun of generating the samples live on stage) is to put the sample into 
a jack enabled audio player and set the sample to loop. Connect the output of 
the player to one of freewheelings inputs and then use a trigger to start and 
stop recording at the right time.  save the session.

JP Mercury has shown some interest in adding support for loading loops 
directly but as of yet this has not happened.
