Re: What!?!?!?! Four (4) friggin' EDPs!?!?!?!




I have 2 EDPs that are connected via MIDI and Brother Synced.
I use them as a stereo pair in the following manner: I have a Mackie
mixer that has an Alternate bus stereo output. I run this bus out to
the pair of EDPs and then take the output of the EDPs and run them
into a stereo channel of the mixer (being careful not to have the 
alternate
bus switch set on that channel!!!). Now I have several things plugged
into the other channels of the mixer (either on stereo or mono 
channels).
Now, when I want to loop something I punch the alternate bus switch
and the signal from that channel gets sent to the EDPs (which, as I
mentioned earlier, are always on the main bus). It's a really nice
setup. I run processed rin gongs through it, I run Modular synth
voices throught it, I run stereo synth voices throught, and I run stereo
drum machines through it, selecting and deselecting what I send to
the loopers. With careful balancing of the faders and application of
the effects on the effects busses, I can get it so you don't even know
when I punch the alternate bus button for a particular channel.
Works really well.
