Mark you are absolutely right man! I have both the EDP and repeater and sometimes i just get too exhausted specially syncing them together.I spend too much time on the technical side of things and lately i am very unfocused on the music.I ve been thinking of taking one of them out of my rack for a couple of months just to build a better relationship with one of them.In terms of creativity they are both animals! Another thing ive noticed is that i do most of my looping uncounsciously within the first 10 seconds at the most.I suppose certain limitations are healthy at times as well... My one wish from both loopers for example would be that i could cut a middle part (from A,B,C cut B and paste A and C together) sort of like Acid.Or is there a way of accompishing this... You loop gurus outhere?
