Re: loop deconstruction with Repeater

[Mark Sottilaro <sine@zerocrossing.net>]

Wait, why are we thinking tracks?  Think Loops.  The Repeater let's you 
do up to 99 of 'em.  Why not just make each cord a loop?  That way, 
they could be put back together pretty easily in any order you'd like.  
It's easy to do on the EDP, I think you could get the Repeater to do 
this too.
