To fire off a scene you click one of the slots on the master track (in session view - "the mixer"). You can also bind any MIDI event or computer key to those master track slots. What happens then is that all Clips on all tracks at the same horizontal line as the triggering "scene slot" is triggered (according to their individual "lunch clip" setting). > Basically, I want to resample a clip while I'm messing with it's > effects.

Crossfade is setting is track based. Scenes are horizontal. But if you put some thinking into it you may find a way. > Concerning Mobius: > Is there anything really comparable in Mac? No. Closest in regard of pitch shifting (á la Electrix Repeater) comes AU-Looper, but it's just a tool for developers and sadly doesn't work properly concerning MIDI binding for real-time control. Sooper-Looper also comes close in regard of staying with and developing the EDP tradition. It was originally a Linux looper but works very well now as an AU plug-in in OS X. My personal favorite for OSX is Augustus Loop. It was originally a tape delay sim AU plug- in but has lately been enhanced with some looping and syncing options. But it still has that cool "free-wheeling" tape loop feel that is hard to get with Mobius or Sooper-Looper. For example, you can feed Augustus with MIDI clips (if run as AU in Live) that work the pitch in real-time - while you are overdubbing into the loop. The easiest implementation of that would be to play only one note on your instrument and step through the MIDI sequences to create melodies in the loop. But then you can use your imagination to combine what you play with what pitch-triggering sequence you feed the loop at the same time. For the looping musician this calls for some "split- vision" musical thinking just as the piano player needs to develop to be able to play freely with left and right hand.
