Can't hear the Input - make sure the input level is set sufficiently to make the
Input
LED go red on louder notes,
Make sure the selected track/tracks output levels are turned up. Make sure the FX Insert is not engaged.
Tracks are not making sound - If there is signal present as indicated by the LED meters next to each track, make
sure that the
Levels
are up, that the FX Insert light is off, (if not press
FX Insert
), and that your tracks are
panned where you are expecting them.
Loop skips a beat - it is conceivable that the Loop Point Assist algorithm won't work every time. Use the Trim
function to correctly trim your loop manually.
Repeater won't sync to incoming audio - make sure that you are sending sufficient signal to Repeater, insure
that the signal is clean and rhythmic in nature. Kick into beat Detection mode. Emphasize the beat if necessary by
tapping along with the
Tap Tempo
. Press
Play
on a downbeat.
Unusually loud levels and distortion - if you are using the RCA inputs and you are experiencing unusually loud
levels and distortion, then you probably have the phono pre-amp engaged even though you are feeding a line level
signal . Disengage the phono pre by pressing the back button on the back of Repeater next to the RCA inputs.
Noisy results with Guitar amp inputs or FX loops - Guitar inputs are typically sensitive to low level signals (typi-
cally -20dBu). FX loops are typically designed to operate at or near 'line' level (-4dBu). Repeater is designed to produce
a clean high level signal (typically 8dBu) suitable for a studio environment. As a result, the output from
Repeater can mis-match with some guitar amps producing a noisy result.
The first step in improving the situation is to try and optimise the
levels in the system to minimise noise. Try adjusting the input level
of the guitar amp down so that it will accept a signal from
Repeater that corresponds to 0dB or better on the track level indi-
cators without clipping. Reducing the output of Repeater using
the track sliders or input level control is undesirable as this will
reduce the ratio of signal to noise in the system.
If you cannot achieve a good result by this means, the diagram to
the right shows how to build an in-line attenuator cable that will
help match the output of Repeater to a high-gain input such as a
guitar amplifier.
Repeater won't power up - Make sure you've got the correct power supply. Repeater requires a custom Electrix
power supply model TFR0035. The power supply has a mechanical fuse that will reset after a short or a faulty power
input cable is replaced. The power supply also has a small green led that indicates if itÕs working.
I can't overdub . To Overdub, Repeater still needs memory to undo. And you probably don't have enough memory
left. Or you might have multiplied and recorded to other tracks, and once you try and overdub to the multiplied track
you might not have enough memory. See virtual tracks
I try playing my loop on my PC and it doesn't sound right . First you need to discard any extra trim data. Press
and hold
Trim
to cut and discard any extra data. If you have pitch shifted or changed tempo then you will need to
flatten the loop before you move it to the PC. Do this by resampling the tracks to themselves. See resample.
I can't trim my loop . You might have a multiplied track that is still "virtual" check the active LEDs in the tracks sec-
tion. If any are blinking you have a virtual track. You need to flatten it by resampling it to itself or overdubbing to the
virtual track. See resample. Now you can trim the loop.
