Its pretty noticable when I use open string and harmonic drones on the 
violin.... and yes, it is *HUGELY* noticable, and completely destroys 
the ambience that I am trying to create by introducing an unwanted and 
uncontrollable rhythmic click - which is pretty hard to try to play a 
non-bpm'd improvised gypsy solo over the top. I do not play with any 
other instruments/backing tracks to hide this glitch in the Repeater....

Maybe not most music, but definitely some, including mine.

I demonstrated this glitch to Emmanuel, first playing flawlessly on the 
DL4 to prove what I could do, then tried the same with the Repeater... 
it failed every time.
