Loop sampler mode. Dry/Mix output equal, constant record/overdub. The great thing about being brought up on the DL4 is that there is no control of the feedback... Its probably like 80/90% feedback on other boxes. I basically start the loop in silence, or with a long drone... and once it goes into record/overdub mode, you basically leave it there until the end of the piece. I've found myself constantly morphing everything from the melodies, harmonies, rhythms, structure.... its hard to explain, but its made me look at music from a different viewpoint. > .As time goes by i feel > better and more organic with less gear:-) I know what you mean :) But I've always tried to connect different gear together... so this time I'm trying to opt for a rack of likeminded boxes, which once set up, should never need touching again. (That is the theory). > Yes you can say that again, it is expensive but the > EDP is a very strong live looper. I know. I would love to get my hands on one, but the price is way too high for my budget. I also need multiple loops - being able to reverse one loop whilst another is playing... Oh for a lottery ticket, and 8 EDP's... :) > Somehow the repeater > feels more home studio looper to me... Its unreliable both mechanically and operationally. If you visit the electrix forum, you'll see quite a few people who's power supplies have failed. Electrix has not released the specs for others to make a new PSU, they have not ordered any more PSU's to be made, and have completely left their users without any support whatsoever. I had concerns before I purchased the Repeater, but private emails between myself and Electrix put those to rest. "That will be resolved in the next OS upgrade".... *sigh* Its a shame... it had so much potential. However, I stress if I ever have to perform using it... I don't trust it, and it always works against me. > gotta love the low key echo pro specially the > flashing circus lights when you turn it on:-))) I spent 5 minutes playing with that feature in the shop :) Tomorrow should be the day of the exchange..... the beginning of what could be musical freedom.
