This is actually the coolest idea I've heard yet in using these in tandem!

The thing I have yet to grasp is how the EDP interprets tempo when it is 
the
clock master. Is there anything on the manual on that?  What is considered 
a
bar or a time signature or tempo when your EDP loop is 3, 10 or 30 seconds?
And how does the RPTR interpret this?

I've been in an instant-gratification rut recording loops synced to drum
machines, but the few times I've done it free has been very gratifying.

I'm a Logic user too. Please share what you find. That sounds like a
powerful approach.

One of the (good :-) problems I have is figuring out the best way to set up
all my midi instruments via my long-ago-maxed-out Midi Time Piece (daisy
chaining the rest). One of the reasons I ask so many questions rather than
just experimenting is that I'm trying to figure out what additional 
hardware
I need, or best way to route my existing hardware. I may stick the loopers
directly in the MTP and let the synths be daisy chained after hearing about
these pros/cons!

Lets keep the talk flowing on using these beasts together!
