Fun, fun, fun! Both Repeater and EDP have their uniquenesses, but
here's something I've been doing with EDP recently with it's
re-definable loop length: take a rather bland/open 4/4 beat loop, all in
the I chord (but pleasantly ambiguous!), and go to next loop, copying on
the fly with Multiply, doing an immediate overdubbing, forcing 3/4 time,
with other chords (like I, IV, V, whatever). Presto! quite a change,
with some potentially interesting serendipity...and the original is
waiting for you to return to the 4/4. (Obviously, you can get fancier
with the beats/measure!)
(I know this pales in comparison to what some of our loop-masters are
doing, but hope this fits in as meaningful info!)
