Francois salut

je peux te dir qu'il ya des bonnes nouvelles (au moin je croix... on est jamais vraiment sure...)

the EDP is going to be distributed in Europe by Gibson, who has a new main european dealer
GibMed, based here in Milano.

I just wrote a test for the EDP for the main italian gear magazine.
I still didn't see any in the shops but probably they're going to be soon distributed.

You can try ask Gib Med,
Gibson Med S.r.l. 
Via Campania 12 - Z.I. Sesto Ulteriano
20098 San Giuliano Milanese (MI)
Italy 
tel: +39 02 98283838 
fax: +39 02 98283839 
Email: info@gibsonmed.com

there's also a web site
http://www.gibsonmed.com

Anyhow the suggested price in Italy (I guess in France would be the same) are
1326,88  tax included
+ 169,26 for the foot controller

the street price here in Milan it's going to be around 1200 euro (for the EDP)


> Questions : 
> - are there any EDP users on LD who are based in Europe (I'm pretty sure I've seen German emails) ?



me now :-))

but I'm just a debutant. On the list you have people like Steve Lawson (in London) 
and mr. Claude Voit in Geneve (who was involved in the project of the software Loop IV)
and they're way out more serious then me in their knowledge of this somehow exceptional tool.


If you have serious problem in getting one, maybe we can try to buy one here and send it to you.

Let's see what happens.

let me know and e-mail me in rpivate, if you want, or call 0039-02-54116266

a bien tot

Bruno
