Electrix Repeater - Manual (Page 19)

When selecting tracks for recording, the Track Select buttons operate as 'radio' style buttons. Pressing a new
button deselects the previous track and chooses the one you just pressed, extinguishing and lighting the appro-
priate LEDs. You can select single tracks or stereo pairs. Stereo pairs are selected and deselected with a simultane-
ous press of both tracks. Tracks 1 & 2 can be paired as can Tracks 3 & 4.
Audio Triggered Recordi n g
You still have to press record manually to finish the loop recording, but try this on for size:
Repeater can begin recording when it hears something, rather
than in response to a button being pressed. Here is how to do
it:
¥ Press and hold Stop and then press Record. This puts the
unit into audio triggered mode.
¥ Whilst record is held down the trigger level can be adjusted
using the tempo encoder.
¥ The audio trigger is activated when Record is released. This is indicated by the record button LED flashing.
¥ The audio triggered record will start when audio is detected above the selected trigger level.
¥ Audio triggered record can be cancelled by pressing the Stop button

Repeater normally operates in Overdub mode. In overdub mode, Repeater will mix the recording with the existing
material on the selected track without erasing the original recording. In Replace mode, Repeater will replace the
existing material on the track with the new recording like a conventional tape based recording device. Pressing the
Overdub button will extinguish the Overdub LED and put Repeater into the Replace mode. Overdub lets you
infinitely stack and layer additional parts much like you would on the JAMMANª or Digital Echoplex Proª.
Setting Overdub Fe e d b a c kL e v e l
The Overdub Feedback reduces the level of the original
recording as a new part is recorded on top of it. This pre-
vents an undesirable gain increase. This level can be cus-
tomized, and here's Johnny to tell you howÉ
To change the default overdub feedback levelsÉ
¥ Press and hold Overdub for a half a second.
¥ The display changes to show the feedback value (level), which you can
modify using the Tempo knob.
¥ Press Overdub again to exit and overdub with the new feedback level.
Every time you overdub to a track, the original track content is mixed in
with the new material from the overdub. The Feedback control adjusts how
much of this signal is mixed in. Try setting it to 30% for example. Now every
time you overdub a new part the original track(s) will quickly get quieter
with every pass. Repeater defaults to 94% which works most like a multi-
track recorder when overdubbing. Settings of 85% and less will create
dynamic loops that will evolve over time with each new overdub.
