The big difference in the 2 machines is that after a multiply 
the EDP keeps track of "Cycles". Even though you multiplied 
it doesn't forget how long the original loop was.
That's why it's good to keep the first (master )loop you recorded separate,
and not multiply it.

;-) but then if you want to Stop/Start a few times you end up
with a massive loop

I wouldn't say the EDP has less possibilities than the LP1.
More that they are different.


The Midi learn on the LP1 is incredibly easy to use.
...but I'm still working on finding the right
  combinations of commands to do the things I consider essential
  and still keep the number of buttons down to one bank of 10.

So far I didn't hit on a way to re-Record an existing track with one press.
(Erase>Record on LP1 is too slow)
