Routing the efx through the repeaters little mixer is also a lot of fun,actually you dont really need a mixer!you can record 4 tracks and program your midi foot controller to send efx to whichever channel you like.I do this using my mo-fx and EQ killer and then play with their tap buttons, knobs etc. then you can pitch shift the loops speed them up, cut them up,mute them,fade them in or out individually,etc.some of the specs are Footswitch control for the main functions,MIDI Inputs, Stereo 1/4" and RCA with phono preamp,Outputs Stereo 1/4", RCA and S/PDIF, FX Send/Return Stereo 1/4",CF loop Storage,i mean what else do you need! If this baby gets an intelligent upgrade is just going to turn into a monster! but i still find the EDP more friendly in terms of composing live,the rPīter still has this live multitracking feel to it,for me it probably has to do with the fact that it has a small delay when you tap on the record button and the other little buggies... cheers Luis --- "Hartung, Kris" <kris.hartung@hp.com> wrote: > Wow, did anyone else get 15 copies of Stephen's > response in their > inbox?
