Re: Delay Question



Huh, I'm not sure what your rig is like, but why not use one stereo pair of
the repeater for your "basic beat" then put the second stereo pair into
record with a feedback of your choice.  This can change all the time
depending on how fast you want the second part to evolve.

For bonus, I use a Lexicon MPX1's delay to grab a set chunk (anywhere from
a 1/16 to an 1/8) of my loop and repeat it at will.  This can be really
cool.  Kind of Andre LaFosse like, if I hit the sample (a/b) button at a
kind of random point.  I'm not sure how long it will stay synched, but it
seems to go a long time. (btw, I'm not using clock from the Repeater to do
this, as it doesn't work)

If this doesn't work, I think the Echoplex in delay mode may be your only
choice.  I've had luck with synching an EDP to it.  Be prepared to pay
$1300 if you want it in stereo.  Other delays seem to hate the Repeater's
clock, including ones made by Electrix.
