Re: SV: not very reliable live

Show me a piece of gear that can't be broken, and I'll tell you you're not
trying hard enough.  What do you mean you have to "adapt your performance
after what is actually possible to do with the Repeater"?  OF COURSE YOU
DO.  Try doing an 8 min loop on the EDP.  Nope.  Try inserting two beats of
time into a Repeater loop.  Nope.  Just because you've found the limits of
a piece of gear is no reason to say it's unreliable.

I'm telling you people, just like the EDP, the Repeater is an instrument
that needs to be learned and played.  Practice has helped me immeasurably.
I'm so used to it that when I got the EDP, that felt awkward, just as I had
once thought the Repeater was.  I think any high end looper is going to
take time getting good at.
