Because there are times when I'd like to set the tempo rather than having 
it
pre-dictated (even if it's by loops that I've made). Otherwise, I could
simply set up the Handsonic and start recording into a blank or nearly 
blank
loop.

I did try recording a loop and then setting the tempo on the Handsonic to
closely match what the Repeater was telling me and letting the Repeater
tempo stretch to match. That, however, is a bit of a kludge.

No more awkward arguably, I guess, than having to tweak the beats per cycle
setting on the EDP after recording the initial loop.
