there is a clear technical difference in how you treat memory:
A sample keeps in the same place an playback jumps to its start when 
it reaches the end.
A tape kind of looper keeps reading and copying through the whole memory.

But with the introduction of StartPoint and AutoUndo in LOOP 2, the 
sampling aspect came to it and we also jump in the memory sometimes.
And samples can be crossfaded and copied so the Repeater imitates the 
tape kind of loops.

Still, the difference appears in the details of the functions available.
