I don't know about the intellectual rights on legacy products, but I, personally, love the Electrix Repeater. Though more sophisticated (and reliable) loopers now exist on the market it does one thing that no other hardware looper does and that is you can control the speed of the loop without changing pitch and you can repitch the loop without changing it's speed. As a found sound artist this opens up a world of possibilities for me. It means I can hit a brass candy dish with my thumb, manipulate the overtones in a rhythmic ostinato with my mouth held close to the dish and then can control this sound chromatically over three octaves (one up and two down). That means that every single found object I use can be recontextualized as a chromatic instrument with the use of a wind controller (I use a WX-5 Yamaha wind controller, a keyboard or an old Roland Pad80) When my unit gave up the ghost after many years, my brother, graciously gave me his old unit to use. I'm about to put it back into my performance rig after a few years apart. I'm very stoked about that. Rick Walker ps I also have and love their Filter Factory, the MoFx and the Warp Factory (vocoder) which are all very saliently cool because you can use them in very rhythmic ways with midi sync and with drum machine like buttons that control whether you are turning the effect on or turning it off in a rhythmic fashion.
