RE: Repeater memory

>when you get to the last track?

If you are going to work on a 23 second loop that will only have 3 tracks
then internal memory would be ample. (remember Repeaters internal memory is
90 seconds "track" record time). What would happen if you went to record on
track 4 is it would stop recording at 21 seconds (23 X 3= 69, 90 - 69= 21).
NO this does not mean Repeater can play loops of different lengths at the
same time. This just means you will have 21 seconds of recorded material 
and
2 seconds of silence on track 4. So... you could use track 4 in this case 
to
add vocal hits or trumpet blasts or guitar licks etc. If you think you will
be making a 23 second or higher loop, that will require 4 full tracks, then
just record directly to the CFC card. the 16 MB card that will ship with
Repeater will give you 190 seconds of "track" record time. so you could 
have
a: 
190 second mono loop 
95 second stereo loop 
63.3 second 3 track loop 
47.5 second 4 track loop. 
There is a division between the memory spaces. Think of it like two ram
based hard drives. One is internal and the other is removable. You can't
have half a loop in the internal memory and half on the CFC. 

Hope this helps...
