I agree - though I also hasten to add that, in my opinion, it's VERY important to understand the fundamentals of ALL of the basic front-panel functions, before diving into the deep waters of DirectMIDI. Even if someone already has a hot MIDI controller, I would encourage them to focus on the basics of the EDP before trying to get too many fancy MIDI-exclusive things happening. > The bad part was that he can do a LOT of cool stuff with a > Digitech MIDI controller that's no longer made. As a matter of fact, 99% of everything I did could be done just as easily with your Behringer FCB1010. I know there are guys like Claude Voit and Gary Lehman who program very complex strings on their PMC-10's, but for me I find that I like to use very basic pedal commands - note-on's and note-off's for individual DirectMIDI commands, for the most part. I'm actually eyeing the Behringer as a second/backup pedalboard, simply because almost all of what I do with the PMC-10 would translate, and I wouldn't have to troll Ebay looking for a PMC-10. > Watching Andre was pretty damn amazing.

I'm glad you liked it, and I hope your cerebellum is thawed out by now. > The EDP is capable of so much. It's > almost too much. I think at least I know what's possible now. Well, I by no means use all of the thing's depth and breadth. Matthias or Claude could each showcase other sides of the EDP that I'm not particularly qualified to try and talk about - sync, for instance, is something I spend no time with these days, whereas it's a huge part of Claude's deal. And Matthias' feedback technique would take me a very long time to try and approximate. Cool seeing you again on Saturday, dude. Woo-hah, --Andre
