Just start/stop (wish I could get it to send the Repeater into record when I start a beat, but I don't think so) pitch shift and beat, I'm afraid. I automate the drums (unless I'm playing with Gerard, our DJ, and then he deals with it) and I pretty much just take clock from the 307. I'm curious to see how your experimentation goes. I wish I had the time to dig deeper into the drummachine/ Repeater relationship.
