Re: EDP Hardware Interface

[Mark Sottilaro <sine@zerocrossing.net>]

99% of what I do begins with a MIDI clock.  Either because I've got 
another musician looping with me, or another device that needs to stay 
in synch with what I'm doing.  My frustration with the EDP manual was 
that I couldn't just find all the functions that dealt with MIDI synch 
in one section.  I knew what I wanted to do, but the terminology wasn't 
the most clear, and the presentation of information very awkward.

This is when I gave up on the manual to some degree, and went to Andre's 
site.  His aural examples, coupled with an explanation of his parameters 
was all I needed to figure out how to set my EDP up to do what I want.  
Most of the time I keep the EDP like the first example on this link:
