Re: EDP Hardware Interface

["David" <vze2ncsr@verizon.net>]

Yes - I understand that one button pressed long, short, or in one of 2 or
three modes does give me a lot of different functions. Real-estate on the
EDP face-plate is small, so you gotta make choices.

The Adrenalinn uses the same grid-style of interface.

So do the Korg Etribe machines.

Of course if I was driving a car and the accelerator and the brake were the
same pedal, and all I needed to do was switch modes between patches, I'd 
end
up with a road wreck pretty quick.

It's a great rack-mount unit, don't get me wrong.
