Linking Multiple EDPs for Group Looping/Improv

Per, can you share any of those recordings with the group? I thought they 
were online somewhere.

Regarding the syncing of multiple EDPs...you could do it so that you 
aren't 
synced to a meter, correct?  I don't understand this feature of the EDPs 
that well, but is it true that one of the EDPs (or the first one that 
starts 
the looping) sort of sets the initial looping framework for everyone else? 
For example, if Looper A starts the looping and creates a 30 second 
non-metered loop, then when Looper B adds his part, it gets looped within 
that 30 seconds, correct? (assuming he doesn't Multiply).  If this is 
correct, then the beauty of linking the EDPs is that you can do whatever 
you 
want with the group, metered or non-metered...it depends on what the first 
person does.  I wouldn't even use any MIDI or beat syncing if I were to do 
this with a group.   What happens if two people press Overdub on their 
contollers at the same time? I'm assuming it overdubs on their own EDP 
memory, but still abides by the original EDP loop framework.  This is 
intriguing.

It would be cool if Mobius has a features like this, to be able to connect 
multiple Mobius apps on many laptops.

Yes, we did that here in Sweden in 2003. Bernhard Wagner and me also
played synced duo looping in Zürich last year. It's great fun - but
it's also fun to play without any technical sync, only the musical
instinct... which isn't a bad sync clock either to hook up with ;-)

What I like with group looping under a house clock is that you are
free to get totally off tempo and still have the option to get back
right on the beat, if needed. You can let go of some more control and
enjoy chaos better.
