RE: Repeater owners question

["Paul Weissman" <paul-mailinglists@nioterra.com>]

what about being able to take loops and insert them into a repeater
compatible format?  is it useful to be able to pc->repeater as well as
repeater->pc?  i had that mostly finished, albeit in a very hacky way.  you
have to know the tempo of what you're putting in ahead of time and jump
through a hoop or two, but it definitely is helpful if you've got a bunch 
of
loops at, say, 132 bpm that you want to insert in mass perfectly on to your
repeater.  worked well for providing backup tracks for me.

i've got some good reasons for getting rid of the repeater, some of them
financial, some of them related to another future post.  but i have a love
for the concept of looping and for the concept of the repeater, so it would
be cool to help people out who actively use the repeater.  know what i 
mean?
