EDP Undo

[Mountain Man <mtman@cloud9.net>]

I've had similar experience with undo on the EDP, which is probably the
main reason I don't use mine more.  It feels to me like I never know
what undo is going to do, or even if it will work at all. I've gotten
into states where pressing undo doesn't do anything, and it's not
because I've run out of memory (or at least shouldn't have).

One of the things that would make undo more usable for me would be
having the short press be the "undo everything."  This is almost always
what I want to do, and having to press for a second to get it is
painful.  Maybe a parameter that allows the user to toggle between long
and short ?

I'm a little confused by the undo operation on the EDP, and was
wondering if anyone could
clear it up for me (like through one of your wonderful little essays,
Kim?).
I've read the manual, and understand that a long press is supposed to
undo the entire previous
layer (given memory limitations), and a short press is supposed to undo
the tail end starting
from where you press "undo".  But my EDP seems erratic in this function
-- often I have to
press undo twice or more to undo the previous layer, and often it
doesn't allow a long press --
the little undo light blinks on and off really quickly.  Also, it seems
to me that sometimes I have
to press undo while the previously recorded material I want to undo is
actually playing.  If I
press it elsewhere in the loop, nothing happens.
Comments, anyone?  thanks in advance.
