I'll look into it when I get the time...right now I'm in
new unexpected dayjob culture shock ;-)

...but I'm guessing your assesment is right.

I didn't try it with midi sync yet.

forwarded to Matt :-) 
(and I also think he earned it)


The difference in the design approaches is partly that the EDP was put
together over many years with each new feature being added only if it 
fitted perfectly with the existing ones.
At every step Matt asked, "what if user does this?" "what's this 
button going to offer while that's happening".
Rather than adding features, this added whole families of interconnected 
features.


The LP1 was designed so that it could be updated with user requests,
an equally valid approach but perhaps the reason you find that two
of the features you use don't work together (yet?) in the way you'd like.
