Some quick ideas:
- Use both EDP's to record two simultaneous loops of different lengths.
- Work out the maths in advance, so you know by heart how many loops
of each time measure will match up for the first, second etc
"Downbeat Eclipse".
- Jump between FullSpeed and HalfSpeed while overdubbing a new loop
targeting a new time measure (needs some math as well as trial and
error to find out the tricks).
