Man, I tell ya. The Repeater is a nice unit. Except
it's foot pedal controls (both with a three-button Digitech and a MIDI
controller) leave a lot to be desired. The EDP leaves it in the dust in that
department.
I haven't been able to change loops without using
my hands since I got the thing. I'm on my second MIDI pedal. I thought my
original somewhat archaic Digitech PDS-type was not the best device to use and
since sold it. I purchased a Fender Cyber-Twin MIDI Foot Pedal with the
intention of using it for the CT as well as the Repeater. It's a real simple
pedal to use. Sends PC and can send CC.
Most of the MIDI functions I tried worked BUT when
a new loop is selected (after being created), ex. LOOP UP, I can't get the darn
thing to PLAY. I opened a case with Electrix and they're helpful but it seems
weird that a simple function can't be made to work. I'm running 1.1,
BTW.
This problem is really starting to get on my
nerves. As a guitar player, stopping to manually initiate Loop Up or Loop Down
ain't gonna cut it.
Electrix should have, in the first place, took a
lesson from Gibson and used more than a 3 switch pedal. You got to be able to
Loop Up or Down.
Oh well, must have been the bad Martinis I drank
earlier.
