Creating a phrase loop

Phrases stored in the phrase pool can be selected and lined up in any desired sequence, and with any number of repetitions. The result can be written to a track/V-take as a phrase loop. When being written to the track/V-take, the phrase loop is stored in the same format as regular audio data, so that the resulting V-take can be used in the same way as other V-takes.
