>>Regarding
The best way I’ve found to
have useable accelerandi/ritardandi on the Repeater is using the CC pedals on my
trusty POS Behringer FCB1010. CC#09 is for tempo/ Time stretch , and CC#14 is for both tempo and pitch shift together. <<
as regards the business of resolution, I will once again big-up the venerable peavey pc1600 series controllers, which allow not only free assignment of controllers, note numbers, sys-ex & other complicated stuff to any control, but also upper & lower limits on the values generated by the faders. thus, one could use a fader to generate CC values from (say) 50 to 70 over it's full travel, giving one much finer control over something like a repeater's tempo. next, subsitute a pedal for the fader. in fact, if I have one problem with the peavey pc1600, it's that there aren't more pedal inputs. I am soon going to rack-mount my pc1600 (which is almost 13 years old!), swapping the faders for knobs & adding more pedal/cv inputs.
I play with a drummer who hates playing to clicks, & likes the idea of a piece changing tempo as dictated by the act of playing it. to accommodate this, I have experimented with various tap-tempo tricks going back as far as the kahler human clock. now I think an actual "throttle pedal" is probably the best way forward.
