The Included VST Instruments
LoopMash
• You can use a composite track as a clipboard, allowing you to include sounds from
more than eight loops into your mash.
You can use one track for importing and removing the loops that you want to
search for sounds, and use the remaining seven tracks as composite tracks. This

on page 168).
