8 stereo tracks

yes.

..and it's possible to multiply the tracks 
(e.g. to 12 times), but not edp style

there's a loop time counter for the current loop, that's all.

If you'd just made your 12 bar loop then that would be the *current* track.
So the accident is not so likely.

What you will miss going from edp to LP1 is the way the buttons of
the EDP are arranged so that you can do so much with each.

The LP1 does have 2 "multifunction" buttons, Rec/Dub and Play/Stop,
which do some of what Rec and Od do on the edp (and Mute too).
...but essentially, if you wanna do a lot of different things
you'll need a switch for each.

What you will like is that a single midi command can be used to 
do up to 8 functions all with one press. Particularly useful
if you have a standard way of working with the loops.
