Understanding the EDP Manual

["M. Steven Ginn" <sginn@airmail.net>]

I recently finished reading my entire EDP manual and although I find it
facinating what you can do with this thing, I feel I am more confused
than ever.  First, there are so many options such as quantize=??, etc.
without any explanations about which option is better or worse for
specific situations or which option should most likely be default.  I
kind of get the impression that its good to consider changing these
options (somehow) on the fly depending on the situation, but how is this
done in a live setting ... Do you stop and begin pressing the buttons on
the front of the unit?  I know the buttons on the EDP footpedal can't
control these parameters.  How do most EDP users control these
parameters live, or do they just set them and forget them?  If they are
typically setup in advance for a specific type of playing or style of
music, is there a recommended list that I can follow to get my EDP set
up the way most people have theirs?  And keep in mind, this is just Loop
III ...

I know a lot of this will come with practice, but it would sure be nice
to find some short cuts, or guidlines so I can get to where I want to be
without spending too much time in trial and error.  The manual is fine
for providing a description of each parameter but there isn't anything
in the way of how to really use it.

Thanks,
Steve
