hi Bob,
Put each pair on a different Midi Channel.

If want to sync all the edps to the same timing then it's going to be 
a bit tricky to get that to work.

The standard Brother-sync-Midi-linked configuration for a pair of 
edps won't work as a MIDI slave,
as the slave of the pair won't sync until the master has finished 
recording a loop.

So the first pair of edps could be the Master, with Brother sync and 
Sync=Out,
the other 3 should have Sync=In


Actually, I'd wonder if that many EDPs is actually necessary to 
achieve the desired musical result :-)
( I do full arrangements with just one pair )
