Ah, thanks for the clarification Per, I'd read you used Live and used Mobius alone as well, but i guess I was unclear as to what ends each was used. But it made me think about how I intend to use my host. In one sense I want it to be super simple like Chainer. In this sense the laptop will act as a dedicated looper/processor (maybe a soft synth every now and then) However, my hope is to also use it live where it provides sequenced beats and loops.... OK, and maybe a VSTi every now and then. (Man I love grainstates!) So, as a wise man once said "A well asked question answers itself." Perhaps I'm looking for 2 things and a single program isn't the answer. Maybe Chainer and Energy XT will do the jobs and they're both in my budget for sure. (Live is a little pricey right now... although I guess I have an upgrade deal from a light version...)
