Preferably done by hardware for latency considerations.
(if that's not practical, then surely merging to the Out
is enough?)

That's a point actually. The EDP merges the midi Input to the Output
anyway.

Doesn't that solve most people's needs?

Not usually, because we want to use the param button on EDP 1
to set up both EDPs.

I did try the Thru as an alternative, hoping it would have less delay
than the Out. (it didn't though).

As long as Evoloop can't do multi-track anybody who can afford 2 of them.

Midi control of FX
...but
as there's a need for midi-synced FX
this is better served by a midi out with merged thru

Sometimes the fact there's an Out and a Thru
can make a useful splitter.

There's certainly been times when I've used both Output and Thru.
