For some reason the top tempo limit on the Repeater is 240 BPM. I guess that is because they were coming from a dance music perspective where music is never faster than that. Personally, having played a lot of jazz in the past, I've seen/played a lot of music that was as fast as 300 BPM so that aspect of the repeater seems like a minor limitation to me. kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@loopers-delight.com | http://www.loopers-delight.com
