Its tricky to end a performance with a loop, however, the tricks that I use are to build up a crescendo with the electric violin towards the end of the piece, then hitting the stop button at the same time I hit a power chord on the violin. The only other way that I have found is to assign a volume pedal to the master volume, and do a realtime fade-out - but that sucks. I'm experimenting at the moment in being able to change the Repeater's feedback level via the assignable volume pedal. Then - towards the end of the loop section, you can move the feedback from 90% down to 50% or lower - it will allow for some quite good morphing. This should be possible to adapt with most repeaters.
