Hello, -an evocative / provocative first posting! :) I don't know that I've ever contributed to this sort of topic before, but why not, right? lol! Okay, for myself, for hardware loopers, I prefer the EDP and Electrix Repeater. I suppose I'll just do a feature list here and explain when necessary stereo input / output / looped signal true bypass good midi sync - I.E. The Repeater always worked well for me, following a dynamically changing clock source ability to save loops on a memory card or similar tech ability to redefine loop length on the fly I.E. sus unrounded multiply in the EDP tap tempo to quantize / sync loop record / playback non-loop windowing undo I.E. Loop Windowing in the EDP began as a 'bug' - I'd love the ability to undo a multiply as well as the looped material itself undo past reverse I.E. in the EDP if one creates a loop, and then reverses it and adds further material, only the material after the reverse has happened can be undone time stretching I.E. As the Repeater does, I'd love the ability to have a loop dynamically change length and pitch to match a changing tempo, thereby preserving its original pitch as it morphs to the new tempo midi pitch variance I.E. again, as in the Repeater's ability to preserve the loop's length while changing it's pitch via midi source sus functions I.E. the ability to make functionality happen only while holding down a pedal or control surface as in the EDP multiple loops either in parallel or series I.E. a combo of the EDP and REpeater here - the ability to play more than one loop either at once or one at a time in series synchronous or asynchronous play of parallel loops I think that's enough for now! lol! I'll probably think of more, and this really isn't including every specific 'basic' feature of the EDP or Repeater, as in replace or insert etc. Anyway, thanks for the note and have a great day / evening!
