re: *First Post* need advice on midi sync looper

[Dan Ash <Daniel.Ash@Verizon.net>]

Welcome to the list -Aaron -

 >>I want a device that will loop audio, quantized, in sync with a midi 
time clock.
If the midi clock speeds up (tempo) the looper will speed up too(and 
rise in pitch).<<

I'd think you would want the pitch to *not* change when the midi clock 
signal speeds up. This allows transitions of all the sync'd instruments 
together, and frees you to make incremental time changes without 
worrying about what 'key' you're now in. I suspect the fretless guitar 
players would be able to navigate these waters, but I'd have a little 
trouble with every slight tempo change.

To answer you're question about the Repeater, I have had mine for about 
a year.  I'm always sync'd to some device or other, and  it's pretty 
stable.  I have had instances when I've had to power down and restart, 
but tend to blame the 'upstream' instruments - clocking device, CC data 
from a foot controller, etc.  I should mention that during performance, 
if you slow the tempo dramatically, your loops will take on a grainy 
quality - even new tracks laid over the existing ones.  Sometimes 
starting a 'fresh' loop is the only way to get rid of that.  I haven't 
seen comments about this 'feechur' on the list before.  Maybe that 
should be a separate thread.

The Repeater worked flawlessly Friday night in my first public looping 
gig with Kim Galibert and Hot Bitch Arsenal.  Boy was that fun!
