Some quick ideas: - Use both EDP's to record two simultaneous loops of different lengths. - Work out the maths in advance, so you know by heart how many loops of each time measure will match up for the first, second etc "Downbeat Eclipse". - Jump between FullSpeed and HalfSpeed while overdubbing a new loop targeting a new time measure (needs some math as well as trial and error to find out the tricks).
