RE: EDP multitap feature



Well, the "easy" way is to use one of the many boxes which offers tap delay, where you have independent control of the delay time and feedback for each tap, but the problem with both of these solutions is that there's a shortage of delay units that offer the sort of delay time I'd want for this application (8+ seconds), and it's cumbersome to set up. You could always set 3 EDP's up this way too.

I think this is the sort of thing that'd have to wait until a new hardware platform for the Loop software evolves. On the next EDP I'd like to see a large LCD display (something along the lines of the tc D2/M1/G-Force) so that you could simultaneously monitor a variety of parameters--loop time, where you are in the loop, feedback level, any commands waiting for the lame duck period to finish, number of loops with material in them, etc. This sort of display would make it easier to program things like multi-tap loop. It'd be nice if this next generation EDP had a memory card reader for loop backup, but I'm not sure how available any media is going to be after ten or twenty years.

So until the magic hardware appears.

The easy way to get 3 distinct repeats and no more is to use
2 delays in series (output of one into input of the other)

both delays to have 0% feedback,
wet/dry mix @ 50%
and one of them is to have twice the delay of another.
(doesn't matter which is first)
