Subject: repeater = looperlatve
comparisons please... how do they feeeeeel... man?
been busy for a bit,
now back...
Repeater has been a
bit neglected in my rack for a bit, but I still like the
pitching
capabilities, but I just wish it FELT more in tune with me when I
played.. Does
anyone know what I mean? With the EDP I press buttons and
feeeel an
immediate response, basically cos the edp is so good at small
divisions of
sound (SUSing and INSERTING etc...) but the Repeater some how
seems slow,
laggy, and a bit tired...
SO... I
have 3 questions really...
1. Has anyone tried
sequencing the track slip on Repeater?, IE programmng streams of CC's?? I have
tried sequencng the pitch, cant think how I did it now... cos I only got ANalog
sequencers, wiv knobs on.. but I did... and Repeater was very slow at
changing pitch, so it was just a pretty wobbly mess... used it for one track of
course, but after that the interest wore off, but to do the same thing with the
track slip, you could effectively do some reaaranging glitchy stuff, as you
play???
2. What do people
think of the Repeater upgrade after such a long time
coming...
should I get it?
and
3. SHOCK HORROR... I
was thinking of selling it and some unused SKB racks
and a Korg
synth and working late for a few weeks and getting a Looperlative
Ta ta!!!
So I downzoned
the PDF manual and read... sounds impressive.... no pitch
shifting (apart
from octave right?) so it aint a replacement for repeater,
but lots of
tracks (not sure if I care about that either) interesting sounding synching
stuff, scrambling sounds cool...
BUT>>>>>
HOW DOES IT FEEL...MAaaan???
I couldn't help but
notice Zoë offloading hers (Hi Zoë! ) why
exactly?? I
also worry about the amount of midi pedal fiddling... all those
tracks, all
that hidden away stuff, (some of us are never gonna be as clever as Per, or as
tidy as Claud (saw your racks... bastard!!)) So will I be forever upping and
downing thru banks on my pedals? Or do I just need 4 really...?
Will people see me
playing geetar on stage?
Or will they see me
peering into a rack, with a mag-light scolling thru menus?
Comparisons
between Repeater and Looperlative welcomed into my home, of thier own free
will.
Cheers...lots
of love

PS/ Im
gonna be in California for a week in September (from 17th) specifically
Ventura, but prob passing thru SF or LA, depends on the flight... therfore I
will be available for drinking engagements and loopng chats/gigs
(unfortunately I wont have any gear wth cos Im there on work,
filming a doc about an ethical sportsware company actually...)
So... Whaaasup??? (I
believe is the correct vernacular?)
