people subjected to equipment failures and did a call and response thing
with the repeater resyncing and dropping out again...<<

aiiieeee!...... amongst these three posts lies the truth..... caveat loop-or.
I can add thusly: the repeater is indeed great at following an external clock, & doing what it sees fit by way of time compression or stretching to make the loops fit the new tempo. it does occasionally decide to go to double tempo /but only (in my case) when recording a new loop from scratch & the external clock is still selected but absent/. this seems to confuse it.
& it will occasionally do stuff like this when you are on stage or on the radio. mine has stopped suddenly when it was carrying the bulk of a performance (i.e. we were resting some sporadic noises on a bed of loopiness when the loopiness suddenly went away). it says stuff like "not ready" or "cfc too slow" seemingly at random, when at other times the same combination of operations doesn't seem to bother it. can cfc get fragmented?
"honour thy mistake as a hidden intention" says fripp, & there's something similar from john bonham about "if you make a mistake, do it two or three times so people think you meant it that way"..... so if the repeater drops out suddenly, we pretend it was supposed to.
