RE: EDP multitap feature
There is a way (though not all that elegent without a lot
of effort on your part) for loop backup you could use a recorder to save your
loops to. What it lacks is a marker for start record end record I suppose that
could be fixed or maybe there is some other way to get that. I suppose with a
little MIDI editing we could use the same mechanism to load a stored loop but
you would have to have some MIDI recording and editing features so, this might
be the job of a Laptop?
Ah the display, as time marches on I think a bigger more
distinct display could be handy (the age factor ;D )
Here's a trivia type question was the code for the EDP
writen in C or Assembler?
Well, the "easy" way is to use one of the many boxes which offers tap
delay, where you have independent control of the delay time and feedback for
each tap, but the problem with both of these solutions is that there's a
shortage of delay units that offer the sort of delay time I'd want for this
application (8+ seconds), and it's cumbersome to set up. You could always set 3
EDP's up this way too.
I think this is the sort of thing that'd have to
wait until a new hardware platform for the Loop software evolves. On the next
EDP I'd like to see a large LCD display (something along the lines of the tc
D2/M1/G-Force) so that you could simultaneously monitor a variety of
parameters--loop time, where you are in the loop, feedback level, any commands
waiting for the lame duck period to finish, number of loops with material in
them, etc. This sort of display would make it easier to program things like
multi-tap loop. It'd be nice if this next generation EDP had a memory card
reader for loop backup, but I'm not sure how available any media is going to be
after ten or twenty years.

So until the magic hardware
appears.
The easy way to get 3 distinct repeats and no more is to
use
2 delays in series (output of one into input of the other)
both
delays to have 0% feedback,
wet/dry mix @ 50%
and one of them is to have
twice the delay of another.
(doesn't matter which is first)
