there are midi markers sent for all commands, and then as the loop plays 
there are markers sent for the loop point, cycle point, and subdivision 
points. You can record these along with the audio for easy editing later. 
You can then also load loops back to the echoplex fairly easily by sending 
the same midi commands out with the audio from the recording device.

Dennis Leas used this technique for his Kyma based Looper Construction 
Kit, 
which transfers loops between an Echoplex and Kyma in real time.
