:-(  yep, that's exactly the case.

Not at all.

...but what about the 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) alternative?

That has a problem of course, which is that you would lose the 
original rhythm you layed down at the start.
So I guess that's not so attractive.

yep, looks like either tap dancing,
or finding a way to sync the EDP to the RC-20
(and then assigning the RC-20 to be your drummer)

1) maybe Beat Sync will work for this

2) if the RC-20 has an led that flashes at the start of the loop, then that
     would be a good place to get an electrical signal which you 
could send to the edp
    beatsync socket
