Re: EDP loop technique question

[Mark Sottilaro <sine@zerocrossing.net>]

I do this with a Repeater, but you get 4 tracks per loop.  (99 loops 
max)  Another good thing about the Repeater is with the 11 ms latency 
it makes my speakers seem like they're a few feet farther away from me 
and I have a small apt so it's like having an addition to my studio.
