Well, the reason why the EDP does not create a click is that it does 
not actively sync while its overdubbing. It ketches up again after 
the overdub.
If you do a really long Overdub, it looses sync.

Claude had the fantastic idea for the automatic loop start correction 
in case of a very long Overdub while FB is low: If the EDP is slaved 
and you reduce FB to keep renewing the theme, you loose sync. But it 
does not harm, since you are playing with the master and thus 
musically you dont loose the sync. So the EDP recognizes this 
situation and corrects its internal startpoint to match the musical 
reality instead of trying to correct the loop acording to the old 
technical start point, it moves that start point to where the music 
has shifted to.

what, the frequency response changes? Or in respect to speed/clicks?
