New discovery on EDP!!!

[mark francombe <mark@markfrancombe.com>]

I have to say once again that the edp is the most amazing instrument, Today, in an offhand jam (having a day off from the country back in my town house studio) I did something on the EDP that I have NEVER done before, and didnt know was possible... It blew my mind, and have to keep testing... Im not sure if I got this right. This is after about 12 years of using an EDP... I STILL discover new things...

Ill recount exactly what I did and then go back and try again.

EDP set to 8ths quant on,,
First I made a short half second loop, and multiplyed out to 8 cycles with a new bit of audio played during the mult.

Then I RE-multiplied down to 1 cycle again... (I dont think I pressed any UNDOs at this stage for windowing, but cant be sure)
Then I pressed overdub (NOT INSERT) on and played, many layers quickly stacked up... pure distorted noise basically...

THEN.. I re multiplyed back up to 8 cycles...
Here I expected it to have 7 cycles of the PRE overdubbed layer and 1 cycle of pure noise (from the stacked up overdub)
BUT that is NOT what came back...!!!
Instead I got 8 variations (probably levels of undo) of the noise layer IN REVERSE!!! not reverse reverse, but reverse undo-ing up to full strength!!

It was very very cool!!!

I then had to take a phone call and write a mail or two, and find mysef writing on LD... 
Im off to the studio again to check this.. see if I cant replicate it, and see if I can get what I WAS after a different way...
