Re: Can two EDP's do this? How?

Of course 2 EDP can do this... As long as you use 2 footcontrollers too... I have my signal going into both of miine, and choose which EDP to loop in by er... looping on it... the tother one goes in synch but doesnt record, THEN when i reocrd on THAT one it forces its loop length to be the same or a multiple of the first... Its almost foolprooff... there are glitches.. like if you Reset the first, and then expect it to go back in synch when you start a new one, better to just SUB into the loop with silence.....

but belive me... my WHOLE SOUND.. is based on quantised subbing with 2 edps, insert1 insert 2 insert1 insert2 satmp stamp stamp, as fast as you can without falling over...

Hi, all

I have one EDP and now need to loop in what I think of as a two-track mode, with two EDPs:

I need to lay down track 1 of the loop, put down my instrument/pick up another, listen to track 1, and then lay down track 2 of the same loop without affecting track 1 in any way. I need the two outputs to be independent of each other, for volume, panning, and effects reasons.

I know I can MIDI sync two EDPs, but can I control their inputs independently, so that I can lay down track 2 without overwriting track 1?  (I can reach over and turn the knobs by hand, if need be.)
I will be panning the output from my mixer hard R or hard L to send the sounds to either of the EDPs' inputs.

>From there, I think what I need to do is more typical sync--have the two EDPs be set to have the same number of multiple loops, respond to the same Nextloop/Record command, and shuffling between the multiple loops via Nextloop.

I think that what I need is for the Master EDP input setting to not control  the Slave input setting, but otherwise have the Slave following the Master commands.

Can two synced EDP's do this?  If so, how?
The more explicit your description, the better off I'll be. I need to know stone cold that I can do this before I buy another EDP.


(And for the record, I know the Looperlative is an amazing machine, but I've been told by folks on their forum that in terms of recording, there is no way to treat the stereo loops of the LP1 as two distinct tracks. The best I've been told I can do is to Group a pair of loops together to create a two-track loop. And it that it may or may not be possible to then shuffle between the groups in order to move between loops. So even though the fidelity of the LP1 is higher, and it has many other admirable attributes, I am still thinking that a pair of EDPs may do the job I need more directly, and therefore easily.)

Thanks for your thoughts,
TJ
