Well yes, you're right,
it affects the response to incoming midi (Note or Ctr)
and also the midi which is output when the 
button is triggered
(either by midi, or front panel or footswitch

so they can only talk to each other if EDP generates the midi type
that EDP2 is listening for.

iirc the response of EDP2 can be a bit unpredictable in this context.

May not do the 8th Quant thing properly.

I didn't track down exactly why yet.....however once it starts working
it's possible to have a polyrhythmic sync and do 8th rep on it.




What I like to do is to have Quant = Cycle, Insert=SUS
Record a short one beat loop with the EDPs in stereo setup.

Then each "insert" adds a beat.
..and hitting Insert on the edp2 front panel just once  makes things 
interesting.
