RE: EDP multitap feature

[Matthias Grob <matthias@grob.org>]

to avoid expectations: I dont have any way to put this idea into the 
EDP and the code I work on is far from going into such ideas, we are 
just phantasizing here for fun and for anybody who may in the future 
have the means to implement the idea:

do you have that many controllers?
or would you program switches to change to fixed values?

Sure I would love to display more.
but an LCD is not necessarily better because its less visible and 
more information is more confusion when you are improvising.

So how would the display solve the problem of operation?
Do you want menus to step through and program patterns of 
taps/volumes and then call those... from the presets?

LCDs were available at the time, but I felt that a simple big LED 
would help more...

ASM
