RE: Repeater vs EDP

["Gary Lehmann" <healthquestrecruiter@earthlink.net>]

I bought a Repeater to use with my EDP and was very disappointed--I went
back to GC, got them to honor Alto's price and got a second EDP instead.
And now I have read the Guitar Player review and they didn't mention any of
it's weaknesses, which include the inability to end record with overdub and
that incredibly annoying delay on the dry signal.  There are lots of folks
on this list using this unit, but I found unusable for my purposes.  If I
had held onto the box I am sure I could have found things for it to do--but
it was no EDP (Senator, I resent that remark).

PS  After rereading the spec on the new LoopIV MIDI Control numbers, it
looks like I might not have to change anything to use the new OS.  I was a
little leery because of all those multiple commands I put on the PMC, but
the new features supersede these--I won't need some of them anymore!  I am
especially encouraged by the MIDI sync possibilities--hoo boy . . .

surely you jest? very different boxes with different applications,
methinks. I'm impressed by the feature set on the Repeater, but it
ain't gonna replace the EDP - I can't really imagine swapping over...
