Hi Michael, I take it you don't want the looped melody to change its length, that we are now talking real pitch shifting. Given the Electrixpro Repeater is discontinued the best way to achieve this I know about would be to use Ableton Live and record your melody as an Audio Clip (not using its Looper plugin). But as I remember this procedure it is not particularly transparent in a performing situation. You can assign a MIDI CC# to transpose the clip's pitch (using Ableton terminology here) but it works on the selected and recording track, so you need to keep it that way. When I did "chord changes" on the EDP (as I do it today with the Mobius looper) I build each chord as a separate loop (because it sounds a lot better than technical pitch shifting). I have one MIDI pedal board bank for this: the first five switches are for direct triggering (on the set shift quantize value) of each loop. Besides this the switch for loop #1 doubles up as the Record Button IF nothing has yet been recorded into the looper (but when the looper is not in Reset Mode this switch works as just another Direct Loop Call switch). I also have a switch for Overdub and one for Multiply, in case I want to work a little longer on one loop than just the basic one or two bar length. With this setup you can create five alternative chord loops in one quick action.
