Re: Using the standard EDP pedal with 2 EDPs

[andy butler <akbutler@tiscali.co.uk>]

hi Mark,

when you control an EDP with the footpedal it outputs 
the midi commands via midi.

So a second slave EDP linked by midi will respond as long as
EDP1 Output (not Thru) is linked to EDP 2 Input.

It doesn't happen via brothersync.

This depends on the ControlSource param.
i.e. both EDPs have
ControlSource=not
OR
both have
ControlSource=ctr




An AB switch is good to use one pedal for either
EDP.
...but it *won't* work both at once if you wire them in parallel


Assuming you're syncing to incoming midi clock you could use the Thru
of EDP1 to connect to EDP2 and an AB switch to route the pedal to either 
EDP. (and bro-sync) 
Which would suit what I imagine to be your usual mode of operation.
