Do it man! i guess the question about correcting a loop that has gone wrong would apply more to loops that are supposed to be perfect in sync or when trying to play something really "groovy" rhythmically.This is why the EDP has become my looper of preference,with this machine i can comfortably make music out of mistakes,its non latency response and well thought out edit capabilities give me the most confidence onstage.With the repeater i often had little groove problems,i often had to adapt to its little latency which made it a bit uncomfortable,although i will miss a lot of its cool features like panning,pitch shifting track muting etc. so i would just say to the audience stay with me folks i promise i will get it right;-) cheers Luis --- Krispen Hartung <khartung@cableone.net> wrote: > Can I post again?
