Electrix Repeater - Manual (Page 31)

LOOP COPY
The Copy function is available when Repeater is playing or
stopped.
To Copy a loopÉ
¥ Select the loop and press the Copy button. The Copy button
will flash, indicating that you're in copy mode, and the display
will change to show the source loop number on the left of the
display, and the target loop location on the right of the display.
¥ If you don't have enough memory, the display will read " ".
You can free up space by erasing some loops.
¥ Use the Tempo knob to change the target location, and press
Copy again to make the copy, or Stop to get out of the copy
function.
¥ When the copy is complete the display will flash " ".
MEMORY SPACE MANAGEMENT
Repeater's memory structure is comprised of two storage areas: internal memory and external flash memory. Internal
Memory has an apostrophe before the loop number.
Internal Memory
Internal memory is limited to 8MB, which translates to about 85 seconds of record time. This memory is volatile
memory, so if you lose power to Repeater, you will lose the data. Internal loops can be copied to a CFC. Internal
memory space may have performance advantages over some CFC's. Some functions like time stretching are limit-
ed by the speed at which a storage device can move data. Internal memory is faster than some CFC's and may
offer you greater range when it comes to speeding up and time stretch-
ing a loop. Internal memory is great for those times when you forget
your CFC, or want to copy files between CFC's.
External Flash Memory
CFC memory is non-volatile, and will hold its content forever without
the need for power of any kind. CFC memory is designed to work like a
hard drive, in fact most computers treat it simply as a hard drive which
makes it a widely compatible storage medium. CFC's come in a variety of sizes; Repeater is compatible with Type 1
CFCs up to 512MB in size. Some CFCs perform better than others. We tested a number of brands of card before
settling on the brand that we ship with Repeater. This card has been found to provide the performance required
to allow all operations that can be performed through the use of internal memory. Not all cards are so lucky. All
CFC cards should work with Repeater, but there may be speed issues which prevent multiple tracks or stereo
recording from behaving well with some cards. For details of recommended cards to use with Repeater, get the
latest information from our website.
Checking available memory space
To find out how much record time you have left, press and hold the 'copy' button for about half a second. The
display will change to show firstly internal memory remaining, and if a CFC is inserted a further press of copy will
show the amount of CFC memory remaining. A final press will return the display to normal. The space remaining
is displayed in minutes and seconds.
