Beat Repeat is an awesome tool for live performance and production. After using it for the last few years I have found a way I like to use it the most in an Audio Effect Rack I built. Basically the standard Beat Repeat has a lot of different increments for repeating, like 1/6, 1/12, and others. I don;t find I like those and rather stay more on the grid for my effect like using the 1/4, 1/8/ 1/16, and so on.
What I did is I took a few Beat Repeats and put them in an Audio Effect Rack. Now when I turn my macro it increases the repeating by turning on the next beat repeater in the chain. I also have some controls that let me add some cool effects to the sound as well. Like Filter, Pitch, and so on.
Here is a video showing off how I use this Effect and what it can do.

Michael Durek also took this idea and made a version for Live 8! He saw the video and recreated it in 8 and added his own tweaks as well. You can also download this below.
