Re: The EDP and the Looperlative and me

[Mark Hamburg <mark@grubmah.com>]

I completely understand you preferring the Looperlative, Rick. My point 
was to answer the question of why anyone might prefer the EDP which seems 
to come as a shock to some people on this list.

Though they might be dismissed as minor functionality, I'll note that two 
items on my list can't be replicated on the Looperlative:

* It doesn't have a big time readout that you can absorb at a glance.

* I'm pretty sure it doesn't have a function to let you set the tempo in 
advance which can actually be rather nice if you are using the looper as 
the clock source.

It could presumably gain the latter through a software update and maybe 
approximate the former depending on how much flexibility there is 
regarding its screen.

But you nailed it when you said the question is whether you want to spend 
your time working with multiple tracks or working in a more linear 
fashion. Each can do a bit of the other, but each is also clearly 
optimized around a particular point of view.
