I'm not sure I understand exactly what you want to do, but did you try
with switch quant set to some value?

To use this workaround you need to program two different foot switch
commands:

1) HalfSpeed/PC with 16 8th/cycle
2) FullSpeed/PC with  8 8th/cycle

You can not use the "speedbutton" command.

...switch quant?  ;-)

If that's what you want it might be a good idea to put the drum machine
as master and slaving the EDP? But then, this thread has been all about
using the EDP as master with a slaved drum machine, or am I mistaken
here?

All the best
