This news makes me HAPPY LIKE A LITTLE GIRL! Bill -----Original Message----- From: flatrice@yahoo.com [mailto:flatrice@yahoo.com] Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2005 2:41 PM To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com Subject: Peak at new Electrix Repeater MK2 and OS 2.0 Peak at new Repeater MK2 & OS upgrades Greetings Loopers Delight members, We met Kim Flint in Anaheim at the NAMM show and he encouraged us (Electrix) to participate in the discussions here. That said, we'd thought we'd pass along some preliminary info on the new Repeater MK2 feature set. Please keep in mind that this is a partial list (more info will be released over the coming weeks/months). With the new Repeater MK2, some of the enhancements you can expect are: o Independent track looping control (can act like a sampler as well). o Initial Record direct into overdub. o Loop length pre-programming. o Completely overhauled MIDI implementation that will give you greater control over more features. o Persistent settings on power down/power up. The unit now remembers your setup. o Sticky settings (stereo link, pan, pitch, metronome) optionally imported to new loops on creation. o Utilities menu for controlling system operation from the front panel, including MIDI channel. Issues fixed from System 1.10 o Vastly improved MIDI clock quality. o Positive indication of muted channels. As mentioned above, there are additional features not listed that will be part of the new Repeater MK2 and OS 2.0. We have compiled the list of mods from numerous user requests. Please keep in mind that our plans for the new product and OS are baked and any other suggestions will have to wait for the next OS. Many existing Repeater users want to know if they will be able to upgrade to the new OS. While it is our goal to offer an upgrade path (for a small fee), there may be some hardware changes required as it is likely that Repeater MK2 will have significantly larger on-board memory. We will keep you posted on this as information is available. Second question on everyone's mind is "when and where can I get one"? We expect them to be available in May/June at select retailers. However, we caution that there will be limited availability and if you want one, you should visit your local retailer sooner than later and place a special order to secure your position. Lastly, people are asking "how much?. US Retail price is $749. Hope this answers some open questions and we'll keep you posted on new developments as info becomes available. If you're interested in staying in the loop (no pun intended) for additional Electrix info, we'd encourage you to join our email list located on our home page @ www.electrixpro.com. Thanks, Electrix
