Re: EDP Settings for Using Subsitute and Quantize by 8th Notes

["Kris Hartung" <khartung@cableone.net>]

Interesting, so don't map my Berinner MIDI button directly to the 
substitute
function, but to Insert and set it to Substitute in the EDP control panel.
Okay. Thanks, Andy. I'll give that try. I guess that is what you would do
with the EDP controller anyway, since it has the insert button.  However, I
liked the substitute mode in SUS so I don't have to hit the button twice.
