I've been reading the Repeater manual online. Sure looks like it would do
what
I want. Is there *anything* you can do on the EDP you can't do on the
Repeater
from what you know? Is recording different tracks of a loop really seamless
or is
there some jumping around to be done. LOOKS like it would be easy, just a
matter
of setting record enable, and hitting record, which are all doable via a 
MID
foot controller.

Then I can mute a track whenever I want to and not have to play that copy
game with the EDP. Seems more elegant to me.

Wonder what fault people have found in the Repeater.  Hmmmm.

Well, off to my gig.
