Re: Mobius on the Receptor (was Repeater-- Speculation and disinformation)

Will do. A guy can dream...

Loopy Llama does run. It's more of a JamMan style looper than an EDP  
style looper. That's my fallback option. I'm really hoping for  
Mobius, of course. There's also lots of Fripp-inspired tape delay  
simulations, FWIW, and a lot of the more complicated delays have loop- 
like options (see OhmBoyz). One downside is that the Receptor has the  
Worlds Most Stupid MIDI ImplementationŠ. They're supposed to fix  
that, to some extent, in the next software revision. I want the  
Receptor regardless of Mobius, but it would be killer with it.
