To my knowledge there is no input mute on the EDP, but
couldn't you do this just by turning overdub mode off
then using using Overdub or SUSOverdub to
"unmute for specific ion sections".

You would use NextLoop presumably with SwitchQuant=Cycle.
I don't think there is a way to enter Multiply mode
automatically when entering the next loop.   If you
press Multiply during the switch quantize period
it will perform a "sound copy" which means that the
contents of loop 1 will be replaced with loop 3 before
going into Multiply.  I think you would just have to wait
for the switch, then enter Multiply manually.

Since the EDP does not have a PrevLoop function, you would
have to press NextLoop once to go from 3 to 1 and twice
to go from 1 to 3 (assuming MoreLoops=3).  Again, this
assumes that SwitchQuant is on.

Alternately, you could set the LoopTrig parameter, and trigger
the loops directly with footswitches that send the right
MIDI note number.  See he LoopTriggering section (page 5-21)
in the manual.
