A few observations-- Per Boysen wrote: <snip> BTW I too had that horrible feeling when plugging into the Repeater for the fist time. But again, this latency is easily fixed by "direct mute" and putting the RPT in a send loop. That was only one issue; I had some others as well. Ultimately, however, I think the best part of using two EDPS instead of adding a RPTR as the percussion looper is that the second EDP can be configured to respond identically from MIDI. RPTR will not do its thing from MIDI notes, and I am using a MIDI controller to send notes to control the loopers--so I can have the same set of notes control both EPDs and have them on different MIDI channels, thus requiring only a channel change if I want to switch which unit is being controlled. On the subject of latency--in my quest for the "right" percussion looper, I acquired the Lexicon MPX G2--wound up using it as my guitar processor (duh!) and have noticed a lack of latency as compared with the modeling and digitally processed guitar direct units I have been using for a while (started with the Roland GP-16 ten years ago). The latency is tiny but tangible--kinda like a condom, I like to think--but the G2 doesn't seem to add this latency, I imagine because there's no modeling going on (it's older technology) and it uses analog processing for gain. Any comments on whether this is real or just perceived on my part? The MIDI controller I am using for the EDPs is a Starr Labs MIDI guitar controller, which uses buttons instead of strings and frets, and there is no latency with regard to triggering tone modules. Also just got my copy of Matthias's new albumen--sunny side up of course. Only listened to a little so far, but it shrieks "major release". Nice job on all fronts and thumbs up to Steve Lawson for his role. In a related matter, I did a Google and couldn't find a way to order Claude Voits's CD See What?, released on Disque Office, identified as release number 65315, but I did find some other links: http://www.swiss-music-news.ch/cd/cdlist01.html http://www.diapo.ch/galerie.php/30,441 as well as Matthias's post http://www.loopers-delight.com/LDarchive/200111/msg00724.html endorsing this as another "fully professional release".
