Nah, no sample. They told me that ON THE FIRST LOOP (ie the one that determines the timing/length etc) that there is a volume drop at the top of the bar, tied to the flash of the play LED. Only on first take, you can overdub and get rid of it, and it shouldnt affect subsequent tracks. To me this is just insane. this is NOT a looper. Its a 4 track recorder that will cycle back to the beginning.

I will try and get used to it, but this is a SERioUS oversitght.
