you first follow the instructions that were just above those ones in
the original mail:-

So you're starting from the point where the 2 edps are synced,
and just Insert a single cycle to the slave.
Going back to the footcontroller, each press of Insert adds one beat
to both EDPs.

Typically I'd record a short loop,
and hit the Insert on the slave front panel.
so
EDP Left is 1 cycle
EDP Right is 2 cycle
...not so interesting till the regular Insert is used again
EDP Left is 2 cycle
EDP Right is 3 cycle
...and again
EDP Left is 3 cycle
EDP Right is 4 cycle

Just like 8th Replace, 
except that the timing's different, and you're using
whole cycles instead of 8ths

not that I can access easily.
Andre Lafosse used it a lot.
