Re: Midi control of audio routing for Mobius

[Luca Formentini <luca@unguitar.com>]

Hi Per,
I was trying to find a native ( inside the sound card sw) solution 
because I think it should allow to have a lower latency.
Are you passing all your signal through live mixer ?
Basically, I use this crossfade function to select when the input of a 
hw processor is fed by the loop coming out from Mobius or by the direct 
input signal.
I have seen that E-mu soundcard (1616) has a mixer which *should* allow 
this.
I would have preferred Rme wanted to develop midi control further on 
their totalmix, but Matthias Carsten told me it is "not a urgent issue 
for us at this time".
Thanks for your kind help, as always ;-)
best,
luca
