This sounds interesting. Personally, I have found using the EDP, on a practical level, very difficult, because I don't fully understand a lot of the definitions used in the manual. It's not that the manual is bad, its just my inability to get my head around what's being discussed. I wish I could understand it in such a way so that if I hear something in my head that I could accomplish with the EDP, I know how to define it so I can actually create it. What I would find helpful, if at all possible, is someone creating a step by step how to, with audio examples, for some of the fundamental workings of the EDP. This start with just a basic function and then gradually build on. I feel a tutorial like this would at least provide me a foundation that I can build on using the manual and my own experimentation.
