Re: EDP Capabilities (was Newbie question)
"Simple" and "on the fly multitracking in a live context" aren't the
most comfortable of bedfellows.
I've got two EDPs that I use for this sort of thing, and you've got to
come to grips with the EDP footcontroller, an A/B box to switch between
the two EDPs, a line mixer to handle all the audio and mentally keeping
track of what's in what loop on what box while playing your instrument
and remembering your audience.
Some people find this easier than others, but I'd recommend some time
in the woodshed with this setup before you play out if you want to
avoid unexpected empty loops, unsynchronized overdubs (learning how to
completely reset all loops on all EDPs is a must), forgetting where
your start point is on a particular loop/cycle.
I don't want to scare you off, but it is a new skill which can really
pay off, but it takes a bit of work.
