EDP questions



A couple of quick Q's for Echoplex users.

First of all a general question;
1.  Does anyone have any general hints or tips to help preserve EDP 
memory.  In particular, I've been working up a little piece that involves 
a couple of loops running, and towards the end, I need to UNDO all of one 
of the loops, to strip it back to the original loop.  However, I'm finding 
that I run out of UNDO's with several layers remaining.  Admittedly, I am 
using quite a lot of layers (about 8-10, approx 10 second loop), but that 
is the nature of this piece.  I'm using a Gibson Echoplex with Loop4 
firmware and full 198 seconds of loop memory.

Next, a more specific question, that shows my complete ignorance of all 
things MIDI.  
2.  I'm thinking of getting a FCB1010 to use with my EDP. I'd like to be 
able to assign different INSERT button functions (eg, SUS, INSERT, Replace 
etc) to different 1010 buttons.  Is this possible? How does this happen ? 
does it require the insert function to be set up in one of the EDP 
presets, then that preset is called by the FCB. If so, does it occur 
instantaneously, or is there is the same lag when loading up a new EDP 
preset manually.  Or is there some other cleverer way to do this.

thanks,

Stephen
