I've only done that once with EDP and Repeater and then I was just playing back an improvisational performance where a computer had recorded EDP source audio together with foot controller MIDI messages. This was just a workaround because I did not have five inputs to the recording maching (1 EDP + 4 Repeater). It took some time to recreate the performance but after a while I ended up with the complete improvisation separated in Logic on five channels. I'm now designing a laptop based looping system with Live 4 as "mixer". One idea for EDP as well, as Augustus Loop AU plug-in, is to take advantage of the new midi clips of Live 4 and set up template midi clips as "dynamic fx racks" for the loopers. I once noticed that if you send volume changes (some midi cc sweeping) to the EDP when in overdub mode, this sweeps will become part of the loop on the next round. So you could in fact use midi foot pedals to launch Live midi clips with different "beat pattern tremolo effect settings" as you are looping away on the EDP. This trick has to stay on my to-do-list for a while though. Next thing to try out here is using Live 4 built in effects on the audio input from the EDP and setting up a useful scheme for FCB1010 control (got to keep reducing options all the time to keep things playable).
