Re: EDP MIDI sync problem

Claude,

Thanks for the info. I can deal with that. One of thing I was hoping
would be in the EDP is a bypass switch, though I don't see on one
the footswitch. Do folks usually is a separate bypass switch before
the input to the EDP to switch from loop to non-loop?

Regards,
Byron
