EDP/MIDI question

["Dennis W. Leas" <dennis@mdbs.com>]

Kim, here's a question for you.

How does the EDP respond when it recieves a MIDI Start (of song) message?

It appears to me that the EDP sends a Start in response to a Start.  (I 
got my
MOTU MIDI Express XT last week and now I can sniff MIDI packets.)  In my 
MIDI
patchbay configuration adventures, I want everything to hear everything 
else.
So if I have an EDP listening to itself (as well as everybody else), I see 
a
constantly circulating MIDI Start when I have SYNC=out and I start a loop.

I can reconfigure the topology so the EDP hears everybody except himself, 
but I
found this Start behavior curious.
