RE: Loop IV: Substitute is awesome

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

Kim,

I know you said it doesn't matter whether the EDP is sync master or
slave, but if you had a choice, which would be preferred?

Can you describe how the EDP establishes tempo ... Is it via some sort
of tap tempo or is it based on the length of the loop?  I also read
somewhere that the EDP can even be used to establish tempo as master
sync without even recording anything or actually looping.  How is this
done?

Thanks,
Steve
