Beat Detect

Repeater identifies the beat and tempo of your input audio and uses it to drive Repeater's internal clock which
determines the tempo of any recorded loop.  In Beat Detection mode it may be necessary to help Repeater define
the downbeat. Press 

Play

to re-trigger the loop on the downbeat or press the 

Tap Tempo

once to realign the

beats. If Repeater is having trouble tracking the incoming beat, try tapping along with the 

Tap Tempo

to rein-

force the tempo. In Beat Detect mode Repeater transmits MIDI clock in both Play, Stop and Record modes.

In the absence of an input signal the beat detection software will lock onto the last stable tempo and hold there
until it can detect a new signal/tempo.  The Beat Detect LED will flash to indicate that Repeater is not able to lock
to the incoming audio.  

M I D I

When MIDI is selected as the sync mode, tempo is determined by incoming MIDI - try hooking up your drum
machine to drive Repeater at the tempo you want. You can use the Transport to define the position of the down-
beat: just press 

Play

at the top of the bar.

U S E R

In User mode, Repeater stores tempo information within each loop. This is the loop's ÔstoredÕ tempo.  In a per-
formance setting, this feature allows you to pre-configure each loop for a unique tempo that will automatically
be recalled the next time the loop is loaded.  You can manually change the tempo of the loop at any time with
the 

Tempo

encoder, or by tapping a new tempo with the 

Tap Tempo

button. If you change the tempo of the

current loop, Repeater will store this new value as the loop's ÔstoredÕ tempo. Repeater transmits MIDI clock during
both Play and Record operations.

Native Te m p o

You can always return to the tempo the loop was recorded at by pressing

Stop 

and 

Tap Tempo 

at the same time. 

TEMPO LO C K

In User mode the Tempo Lock feature overrides the ÔstoredÕ tempo information
imbedded in a loop in favor of the current tempo. This is useful for quickly loading a
different loop at the current tempo.  In Beat Detect mode, the Tempo Lock feature
will lock down the current tempo and yet still make adjustments to keep Repeater
beat synced to the incoming audio. 

Press and hold the 

Tempo Lock

button for 1 second to engage the metronome. While the metronome is playing

Repeater will quantize the initial record to the beat of the metronome.  To disengage the metronome press and hold

Tempo Lock

for 1 second. You can set the 

metronome level

by pressing and holding 

Tempo Lock

while tempo

Lock is engaged. Use the Tempo knob to adjust the level while holding down the 

Tempo Lock

button.
