But if you overdub record into the same loop there is no such
limitation with the Repeater.
Regarding the EDP I just want to mention its unique capability to slice
audio input and insert quantized chunks into the spinning loop. No
other machine or software I know of can do this in real-time. As
demonstrated in this audio example using three live sound sources: (1)
electric guitar, (2) EDP and (3) drum loops.

Job, I tend to agree with Stephen that since you want to prepare loops
in advance the Repeater is the better choice. It can also time-stretch
to match different tempi which the EDP can't. The EDP has more the
character of an instrument to be played.
