Re: No loop end transition on Repeater? (was Looping pads and ambient sounds)

Then I hope you enjoy your 2nd EDP, as the Repeater WILL NOT end a loop
by going into an overdub.  I'm hoping it will in future software
updates.  Because the memory isn't volatile, as it is on the EDP, you
can actually record  your blank loops far in advance of the performance,
and later synch them via midi.  That's how I'm working around this
problem.
