hmmm... do you mean that you don't do a live performance?  do you do most 
of
your work in the studio?

absolutely, and i may query the list about it... i'm just drawing that
conclusion from what i've observed the general dialog on the list to be.

frankly, the genre of music people do isn't really important to me on this
list, and i think that's a nice thing about the list in general.  we're 
here
to discuss tools and techniques and gather ideas.  of course, i am 
_curious_
what people classify their music as.  maybe i'll post about it shortly 
after
all.  ;)

anything non rhythmic would work well, definitely.

cool ideas.  i use reaktor and some granular soft synths, it would be 
pretty
cool to sample them and make loops out of them live.  it would take some
practice though.

i could definitely use more ideas on how to use the repeater...

haven't had much luck yet getting the repeater in a tight enough sync to be
able to add rhythmic accompaniment to my set.  however, i have been able to
do this manually... just hit 'start' over and over again until it syncs up
in my cue, and then i can throw it in the mix.

of course, i can do the same thing with an mpc, and instead of being 
limited
to 4 tracks of audio, have as many as i like going on and use the touchpad
to turn loops on and off.  this is all possible, of course, because i don't
usually need to change tempo while my set is running.
