No. The other way around.

I use the original EDP, no midi foot pedal there. But I do use a midi merge
box to feed RPTR both the EDP midi clock and midi realtime controle (from a
sequencer sending cc messages for dynamical pannings of two RPTR channels)

EDP is the master clock. The cool thing is that you can stop everything a
long press on the rec pedal while playing an "instrument fill". While doing
this you can change tempo and have RPTR (+ panning automisation) catching
up.

Interesting! I'm planning to do it your way when recording this rig into
Logic. But I will also try out the other way; syncing Logic as well to the
EDP master clock while recording both audio and tempo changes. I like the
idea of  starting off improvisations on the "human side", byt still having
the possibility to ad stuff later in Logic - then hard synced to the
improvised tempo changes.
