Re: rackmount midi sequencer



yes I _have_ known that !!
edp sys ex is simple, and, If you have (or know where to find) Emagic's 
(editor librarian) Sound diver, I have made a EDP sys module you could 
use to program your edp and also copy paste all the messages for edp sys 
ex sends. but, be aware that audio maybe interrupted if loop is playing 
and sync may also drift.
I only used sys to change params with sysex while in reset.

It works fine but you'll have to dig in sys ex and in the manual, and, 
nobody can do it for you if you really want to be a power user...

Good luck
