grooves down quickly. It also

its unique ability to record and
play loops without the need for
manual trimming. Repeater can

also function as a great sound
design tool. Check it out..

If you've got a modest home stu-
dio setup try connecting Repeater

Sampling from Sample CDs

If you need help capturing a loop from a sample CD try using
Repeaters ÒSingle Bar CaptureÓ mode. Put Repeater into Beat
Detect
sync mode, arm the Audio Trigger by pressing Stop and
Record together. Now play the sample. Repeater will start recording

automatically when the audio kicks in. Now press Record near the

downbeat of the end of your track, as long as youÕre close Repeater
will automatically tweak the loop end to the nearest transient. DonÕt
worry about your loop speeding up when youÕre done. This is because

you have now left ÒSingle Bar CaptureÓ and are in Beat Detect mode.
Just put Repeater into user sync mode and hold down the Tap

Tempo button to reset to the native tempo of the just-captured loop.
