Re: Repeater as multitrack recorder

[jim palmer <jimp@pobox.com>]

though i don't know about using it as a multitrack as such,
the original track will be a "virtual" track until you overdub on it,
only using storage space for a single cycle.
or so i gathered from the manual.

or maybe i am misunderstanding you,
the original track would be looping under the entire thing unless you mute 
it...
