2-if your keyboard does not play the loop over and over then record one measure in ST1. Trim your recording to one measure as ST1 will record prior to and past your keyboard loop. Make sure it is a full one measure. Click on that measure and hit D (duplicate) as many times as you need.

I hope this helps.
Mario,
I don't think my keyboard can loop what I played with my fingers and the problem with trimming the recording to just 1 bar won't work in general because sometimes I have a 2 or even 4 bar recording.

Up to this point I've been trying to duplicate with a copy and paste and it can be tedious to line-up each paste on the timeline so that it sounds right.

But I tried your "D" idea and it works like a charm, even with my 4 bars! Problem solved, thanks smile

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.
