One way would be to trigger them manually (with a midi controller for
example), the other is to move clips on a grid. Ableton Live is kind of a
mix between the two (as far as I know) and Bitwig seem to work similarly.
the idea is to be able to try out different song structure based on the
same loops.

In my case, there wouldn't be the need for time-stretching as I'm creating
the loop myself.
But yeah, the loops would be different side.

Can't wait for the future :)
