Word on the Forum appears to be that 1.39 brings midi sync to incoming 
clock.

I haven't tried it though.

If the drum machine were to *follow* the LP1, then no worries at all.

I had 8 loops running on LP1 just after I installed 1.39

...but I don't commonly use that many loops.

On the Forum a number of people claim problems.

Yep,
but Multiply is not the same as EDP.

if you're doing that "everything has to be on it's own track"
thing then you won't need Multiply, you'll just record a
new track that's a multiple (in length) of the master loop.

> Are there any cons that I should know about?

Well, it won't do what an EDP does.
Depends how used to the edp quirks you got.
You'll have to plan out what LP1 commands you need 
to get your music to work.
