Ive stated a few bugs in the O.S. - one is it is impossible to build up 
ambient drones on a pre-recorded empty loop on overdub. Try with a vocal 
mic on a fast (180BPM) 2/4 beat loop and build up a quick choral layer. 
Notice the glitches in the gain?

Also, try (again with a fast loop - 2/4 180BPM ) to extend the loop. 
Sometimes the BPM drops drastically (CPU overload?) for a few seconds.

Try dreaming about this unit for 2 years, reading the advertising, 
planning how to use it for all of this time. Then, suddenly being in a 
position to borrow a Midi footpedal and effects unit, then the worlds 
best electric violin (in my opinion - no wars about my judgement on 
this).... and then in 24 hours, received enough donations from followers 
of my project to buy a Repeater.....

...And then I get it, and cannot use it in the way that I had been lead 
to believe I could. Maybe I use loops differently from you, or because I 
play completely hands-free - I'm having this problem.

It sucks that after all of this, that I still cannot play my music the 
way that I want to.
