Of course you would play it and record to hard disk and that was what I
meant. Could it be, that some people in fact think, that Bitwig is
MIDI-only? It is not even really MIDI but OSC as I mentined before and
of course it is a full-featured HD-recorder too (though not as strongly
optimized for HD-recording as Ardour)

Or perhaps you did not have a look upon the program yourself or maybe
have lost the ability to thing a bit like Hannibal Lecter.

I said it is *most easy* to work with *standard* 4/4 loops in Bitwig,
and *not* that that is the only thing you can do. And it is so, because
Bitwig comes with a Gigabyte of sampled loops, that are exactly that:
standardized 4/4 segments for popular mainstream electronica.
