Dear
Philip
I was
interested by your email - to help with any purchase decision, I have prepared
some .mp3 files
from
the Repeater sitting on my desk. If you can recieve about 1M of data, I will
mail you the .mp3
files
individually.

Here's my
question to all that own a Repeater:
How slow can you
go?
Preamble:
I own 2 EDP's and have the glutinous urge to purchase
a Repeater as well. Not that I need to, but the tempo function has got
me curious. I have wanted a device that could slow audio without a pitch
change for quite a while. My main interest in the tempo function is to
use it as a technology based teacher (I.E. - slow that hyper fast Celtic reel
down without pitch change so that I can learn it proper). I know that
various software has offered this type of function but I prefer a hardware
solution (portability).
I was very close to purchasing a device called
the TR-1000 ($250.00).

This
box is a looper that is designed for transcribers and comes highly recommended
from a musical buddy. It is incredibly easy to use and does it's job
very well. My issue is that it's purchase price is nearly 1/2 that of
the repeater and that its top sample rate is only 22k. At that sample
rate you only get 1.5 min. of recording and there are obvious and annoying
artifacts in the sound. It is clear that the Repeater is a far superior
box and does an amazing amount of very cool things but..... Is it as
good at the tempo thang or not.
Please post information on the
following:
Can you slow audio down without pitch change that is of good
quality (few artifacts)?
What is the actual range of this function
(I.E. - max and min ranges for speed up and slow down)
Is this function
stable (someone just posted a Repeater lockup during tempo
function)?
Any feedback on the TR-1000 or similar
devices?
Grazie,
Philoop
