That's a nifty trick, I've had a quick look through the manual, can't find 
how to do this on the EDP (I've got a script for it in mobius though).

I have figured out one way to do it on the EDP - (Quant=8ths), punch into 
loop using INS=Sub or Rpl a few times to get the rhythm going, then change 
INS=SUS (btw, I'm not using midi pedal!) to add a beat to the cycle. 
However, I need to manually increment the 8ths setting by one after each 
press of the INS button to get the timing right for the next add.  There 
is obviously a quicker way to do this, am I using the wrong approach ?

Don't apologise, great to hear it again.
