Re: CFC size

     Ah Mark, you're a smart cookie to be sure.  I missed that part of the 
manual.  When I insert
the CFC card, the readout tells me that I have 96 minutes available.  Sure 
enough, I can only do 8
minute loops at a time.  To check this out I let my Repeater run for 8 
minutes at which point it
flashes a "Track Limit" message and then goes into play mode.  I also 
tried this at a slow setting
(tempo=25) with the same results.  I then wondered if I'd only have half 
that time available in
stereo and I was pleased to find that I have 8 minutes in stereo as well.

     At a tempo of 120, the clock goes up to around 960.0 before it jumps 
out of record.  I was
wondering what would happen with a higher clock rate (maximum 240) because 
I didn't think that it
was a 5 number place setting.  Whadya know?  It goes up to 1920.0 before 
jumping out of record.

     Since you asked, it seems possible to record an 8 minute loop at 240, 
drop the tempo down to
1 and then sit back for a loop of 32 hours in length.  Y'know, it starts 
to grow on you the third
time around...

     Thanks for calling me on my mis-statements, we can all benefit from 
this kind of sharp
mindedness.
