The problem for me here is that I use my hands most of the time for 
playing instruments. I also need to assign buttons to record enable 
tracks, and maybe also to monitor through tracks (if I want to apply 
track inserted effects to my live playing). I can't say I'm completely 
sure, but I still think the ControlAid set-up will be quicker for me. 
ControlAid lets you dedicate a bunch of pedals for specific tasks and 
when you select a different track the same button will be directed to 
the same task - but now on that track. Then there is a function similar 
to "Auto Record" in he EDP that let you step though a pre-defined 
number of slots to record audio clips. So without any pause you can 
play instruments and record either a row of clips coming after each 
other or a bunch of parallel loops, playing together on the same scene 
(but on different tracks).

Tias, how about teaming up some day for a Live jam session?  ;-)
