Hi Gary Andy Butler actually gave me the idea to sync them. My approach has always been to just hook things up, play them in one configuration for as long as possible to explore all possibilities and then shyly move on to further settings. Andy configured the G2 to sync in a specific way to the EDP and it was just right for me. When I came home, the battery inside the G2 had died and I lost all settings (I should always make a MIDI dump of all devices when I found a good setting). I just vaguely remembed what the setting was and I'm afraid I didn't get the same configuration back, even though I tried all kinds of combinations. But at least during those tests I learnt how the EDP slows down its MIDI timing when kicked into halfspeed (because the G2 delay doubles its time) or when choosing a subcycle division on the EDP, the G2 reacts to it (but beware: the change of subdivision only happens on the EDP when you exit the parameter edit mode. And it only changes at the moment where the current cycle has finished). And then you can configure the G2 to react to 8th, dotted 8th etc. All together this adds up to quite a field to explore to find good combinations. And of course, there are quite a number of G2 effects affected by timing so that adds yet another dimension (not speaking of your playing style: rhythmic/spheric)...
