One more thing I'll add to this before de-craking myself out into commute
traffic...

My original thinking of this was that I was in a sense controlling the
Repeater with the
DR770 in terms of MIDI clock, hence the tendancy to put them on the same
channel. I suspect that's a mistake that's been made a-plenty. Thinking of
where I was when I was struggling with this,
I already had different devices set on different channels. The TC G-Major
for instance is
on a different channel.

However, I admit I was originally off the ball in not allowing the the MIDI
clock is global and that I don't need to match channels to use it.
