On the EDP when ending "record" with overdub it does add another layer over
what you've just recorded.  This usually produces a fairly seamless loop of
a drone or ambient pad.  At this point you have several options.  You can
continue overdubbing for a more richly textured loop.  Or you can gradually
decease the input to fade down after the loop has been closed, then
disengage the overdub function.  Or you could simply press overdub a second
time to stop the overdubbing after the loop has been closed.  Keeping
overdub on to record "silence" may wind up adding some unwanted noise to 
the
loop.
