Re: Repeater pedals?

["Jon Wagner" <jondrums@hotmail.com>]

For what its worth, here's what I've noticed as both an EDP and a repeater 
user:

I CANNOT consistantly make good rythmically sounding loops (either start 
or 
stops are in the wrong place so there's a rhymic hiccup at the loop point) 
on the repeater.  This is in user mode with no external syncing, and using 
either midi triggers or front panel buttons.  It is very frustrating.  I 
constantly wonder if I'm missing some repeater setup parameter or 
something. 
I'm a drummer so I know I hit the trigger on beat1 and the loop still 
sounds 
screwed up, its embarrasing and sounds bad.

I CAN consistantly make good ryhmically sounding loops on the EDP using 
either midi triggers or front panel buttons.  So this tells me that I can 
indeed hit my trigger on beat 1 consistantly. (For those of you who are 
used 
to drummers who can enterpret beat 1 a little more loosely:)

The result:  I never use the repeater without having it synced to an 
external clock or beat detect source, and for external synce it does a 
wonderful job.  I usually start my loops on the EDP and sync my repeater 
to 
the EDP's midi clock output.
