thanks for quantifying what i felt about the Repeater.

I'm a keybaordist, and the latency was irritating enough that it kept 
me from being able to use it in a rhythmic context.

i had a difficult time playing around the delay. for textural things 
it's okay, for chords it's okay, but for wah clavinet type parts it's 
irritating.
