so do I have this right?


In normal use the edp is just syncing itself when it gets a pulse 
near enough to the loop Start/End
..but when you hit Mute>>Multiply it retriggers on every pulse (and 
only plays once)

Does that work with the DirectMidi LFRetrigger too?


Worth mentioning that this functionality is available from the 
standard footpedal (or Midi Equivalent)
Mute>>Multiply
then Insert plays loop once from the start for Stuttering etc.
..and hit Undo during playback to go to continuous looping again.
