Zoe Keating from San Francisco here on the list is selling two at the moment.
That says it all, doesn't it?

Er.. Nope.. people sell stuff all the time, it doesnt mean all of us a on that constant battle for the latest and greatest... it is a never ending journey and one that I have given up trying to win.
Zoe is probably the most road weary of us all, and lugging a huge hunk of wood around would mena she is def gonna go for the most compact looping unit around...
And there is no doubt that there exists various multi track loopers in software that out perform the Repeater now... But I have yet to hear time stretch like the repeaters in any form, and the ability to have a delay that comes back transposed (in 2 pitches at once) is something Im not sure the software versions do yet...
Its a clunky beast however, and the amount of trouble they went to to implement the ability to save onto a out moded disk format wasted some time they could have spent programming the midi implementation better and putting more things on the front panel... (How do you un mute a chanel if you did it via CC anybody??)
I still love my repeater.. but as a reliable song-loopers machine, I think its a bit frightening...
