I do this a lot, and there are a couple of ways (at least) to do it. 1) If using MIDI, assign a pedal to loop 2, and then double-click on loop 2 during the waiting period before you switch over to it. I think the technical term for this is "double-click copying." 2) Press the Multiply button during the same waiting period, which tells the EDP to copy the current loop into the loop it's about to hop into. > This might be a rookie question, but, you mention "Next-Multiply" > and I saw Mark mention "Insert-Multiply", "Overdub-Multiply", etc, > etc. Whenever I hit "Next" into an empty loop, the EDP always goes > into Multiple mode. Is this behavior parameter controlled? The EDP always treats a loop copy as a multiply, and when you press other functions during the waiting period, it affects what happens when you make the jump to the next loop. Some people don't like the fact that the EDP always goes into multiply when doing a loop copy. I personally like it a lot, but if you want to get around it there are a couple of tricks that work well: 1) As soon as the loop copy starts, tap the multiply button a second time, telling the EDP to stop multiplying after one cycle. If you turn roundmode off, and tap it right after the copy begins, then there'll be very little time for any sound to go into the loop during the copy. 2) Use the interface mode called "In" (for "Input"), which assigns the expression pedal to control the level of the live input that goes into the EDP. If you select this mode, and bring the pedal all the way back (i.e. as if you were bringing the volume all the way down), then no sound will go into the loop, even if you have overdub/multiply/etc. open. Good luck! --Andre LaFosse The Echoplex Analysis Pages: http://www.altruistmusic.com/EDP > > Glenn
