Re: EDP and Repeater Use

["Om_Audio" <clifsound@mediaone.net>]

Keep an eye on the small green light on the far right- the EDP simply makes
the loop start point and end points a "bar" - and the tempo is calculated
based on the 8th/beat setting. I am pretty sure this is correct- So if you
make a short loop with 8ths setting like at 16- the tempo would be
calculated to be very fast-
