Greetings from a new member

[Lee Sebel <synman@usa.net>]

Howdy all...thought I would pop in to introduce myself.

I am the proud owner of an EDP with foot controller, full memoryAlso.
And while I overpaid for it on Ebay, it was worth it to not have it say
Gibson on it!  As an orphaned Vision dude from way back I have nothing
nice to say about the parent company, despite their re-introducing the
EDP.

Anyhoo...seeing as this is not a list about software, I'll say a bit
about myself and how I use the EDP (or hope to once my rigs are fully
functional).

I'm 42, have worked in the music products industry for 20+ years with
Arp, Roland, Kurzweil and some different retailers.  I'm classically
trained on piano and have some formal eductation in synths as well.
I've done plenty of gigging and have served as MIDI consultant to some
major artists as well as a bunch of other folks.  I'm currently an
independent manufacturer's rep, primarily dealing with the guitar niche.

One of the ways I use the EDP is to demonstrate my Cruise Audio guitar
amp.  It has 4 blendable preamps and I like to lay down a groove with a
clean sound and then switch to a dirty sound and play bad leads over the
top.  I'm a keyboardist, so anything I do on a guitar is abuse at best!

My master plan for the EDP is to create a live performance setup that is
very loopbased.  I dabble in a variety of styles so I don't know exactly
where this little venture will take me, but I live in an area with a
fertile live music scene (Salt Lake City) so I hope to be able to apply
my stuff in this direction.  I have a pretty huge setup, but rely most
heavily on a loaded Kurz K2500 w/KDFX.  My plan for the live rig with
the EDP includes the Kurz, a Roland JD800, Nord Modular Kbd, Korg
Prophecy and maybe a Yamaha VL1.

Any tips or tricks from list members who use the EDP live would be
greatly appreciated.  Thanks and looking forward to good info from this
list!
