If Andre spins your head too much (and you certainly should let him) then
be sure and get Luis Angulo's Primeros Ciclos
http://www.luis-angulo.com/new-projects.htm
which has the edp features used very musically too, but easier to follow.


Rick's right, the edp manual isn't full of "this is how you get that" 
tutorials.
If it was it could go to several volumes. In order to cover all the 
functions the manual has to be a fair size, that doesn't leave a lot 
of room for step by step guidance.
It doesn't hurt you to read right through the manual, even though 
some of it will be incomprehensible to start with it's easy to pick 
up the basic stuff.(miss out the in depth midi stuff though ;-)
Usual recommended way to tackle the edp is to start with learning 
about Record, then Overdub, then Multiply and so on
(from left to right in terms of the buttons)

The edp is designed so you can flexibly with it, to do things that 
the designers didn't realize was possible.
..but still easy to use if you want to stick to the basic functions.
