(What size card does the Repeater come with?) I'm not sure I agree with this. I do perfectly enjoyable loops using the onboard memory, most of the time without problems. BUT I don't do a lot of time stretching, or really long loops. Many of mine are only a few seconds. The Repeater comes with a 16MB CFC, which is pretty small, but twice as large as the internal memory. I think it offers you about 3 minutes worth of total recording time. I've been using 128MB cards and have been able to store upwards of 30 of my loops on a single card. The 128MB cards can be purchased for about $50 these days. Regarding the memory issues you were talking about before. It may be because you multiplied the loop and then changed the tempo. I've done a lot of overdubbing (literally hours...) over short loops on the internal memory and have never encountered a memory shortage (except as I added more tracks and really exhausted the memory). > Short story: I probably should have grabbbed a Repeater when they > were available for sub-$500 and worked around it's issues. Yeah, it's unfortunate to lose the option of getting this tool at a decent price. Who knows though, the prices may drop back down after awhile. > P.P.S. Of course, it would probably also be easier to do any of this > if I didn't have a wife looking at me and saying "How much is that?" Responsibility (accountability?) is such a damper on good clean gear acquisition. <grin> Sometimes that is a good thing for me, since it encourages me to do my research and get the right thing the first time (doesn't always work out, but I do my best).
