James,
That would be a similar patch, and I too have the 135/144 combo in my
system. What I like about the 155 in this patch is the ease at which
you can set up different running modes and pattern lengths, and have
voltage control over it all. Plus you can use the trigger rows of the
A-155 for other things while you're at it.

A-135 or a 4ms VCAMatrix and a A-144 as a controller for them. Less
inputs (loops) to control of course but you get a clean fade between the
different sources. I typically don't use this technique with drum loops,
I use it with musical phrases or background ambient sounds so the abrupt
switching (and associated switch noises) show much more and the A-155 is
less useful. The A-155 works great it seems with drum loops since the
percussive nature of the switching actually enhances the sound
especially since the switching and the switch noise will always be on
beat.
