Re: EDP LOOP4 question: Accessing individual loops directly

[Per Boysen <per@boysen.se>]

Thank you, Andy and Bernhard. That was exactly what I found out by  
praxis, but I didn't have the new manual. I only had the printed one  
that came with my EDP from Tace Elliot Ltd. I will immediately read  
this new manual, although my machine is not a "plus" version (any  
difference?).

Trying here to work out performance strategies for Expert Mode  
without using an analog volume pedal. I simply stuck a plug into the  
foot pedal input and use MIDI pedals. Seems to work as far as I can  
see for now. New manual hint comes in very handy. Thanks for the tip,  
Bernhard?  (... BTW - did The Bernhards ever record something?)
