Hi Jens, I have always been satisfied with using my EDP when playing in an ensemble where I am the one that has to adapt to a changing tempo. I set "More Loops = 1" and then I record a new loop every time I need to adjust the tempo. The longer loops I create the more accurate they sync up with the band. This is a different concept than trying to change the playback speed while keeping the same loop all the time. I stick to my method because I think it sounds better in a musical sense. Only two pedal kicks needed: (1) setting the start point and (2) setting the loop point. It's also a lot more fun because it lets you play more with whatever instrument you use for the source audio to be looped. The Repeater has good sound quality even when loops are being time- stretched. However, when I had a repeater I never used its built-in tap tempo function because I could nail the tempo much quicker and more accurate with the EDP trick described above. But as I had the Repeater sync slaving after the EDP they both adapted well to the live band. IMHO it's an impossible project to use tap tempo because the "tempo catch up" process will always lag behind the music.
