I'm seriously researching the Repeater now too. I think I could do most of
what I need with the EDP, but I have a tendancy to end up wanting to do
more
stuff than I thought I was setting out to do!

I picked up the Roland SPD-S today, exchanging the SPD-6. It's going to be
a cool box. It will let me create a percussion loop from the onboard sounds
and resample it to a .wav and play it back at will. I can also sample from
an
external source, so I should be able to have lot's of stuff at my
fingertips
for live
use, and even just let the SPD-S do the looping of the percussion, provided
I end
up with a looper that will sync to it's MIDI clock, or vice versa.
