I don't understand this perhaps because I am not familiar with the 
Electrix Repeater.  What you are trying to do do performance-wise 
sounds cool, though.

Here's what I don't get.  If you send absolutely no audio out via a 
send, what are you looping and manipulating, and why do you need a 
preset associated with absolutely no audio?
