EDP beat clock question

[eric <eobertha@inreach.com>]

If, when a sync slave, the EDP loses a beat (i.e. doesn't receive one),
what happens?  Does it just assume the relationship's over and goes on
its merry way?

Also:  how about when the master has been turned off for a while - is
there any way to get the EDP to sync back up to it when it starts
delivering beats again (with the currently playing loops - i.e. without
clearing them and starting over)?

Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers,
eobe
