Ah, and how do these artifacts sound? I'd love to hear this effect. BTW, pitch changes do not produce any artifacts?

Now I'm curious! ;) I currently use an Emu sampler for the slowdown effect, and it does a beautiful job at that. I was hoping the the Repeater could provide me with a more real-time interface for the same trick. - Robert > > > kim > > ______________________________________________________________________ > Kim Flint | Looper's Delight > kflint@loopers-delight.com | http://www.loopers-delight.com
