Oh, yes - I read both app's manuals and I'm aware that Max/MSP can do everything I need. But Bidule does it faster and I have more fun making music than writing patches ;-)) If you know about audio processing and routing you almost don't have to "learn Bidule"; the modules are there on the screen and you simply have to connect the cables. Most kind of routings are already pre-fab, for example there is a right-click menu for instant syncing as slave or master (or non sync) to Bidules internal tempo clock. Then this Bidule clock can be set to follow external sync signal. I may go all Max/MSP in the future if it will make sense then. Max/ MSP is definitely topping my shopping list and enjoys an instant spare-time-priority ranking on my to-do list. I already own Bidule since years, so I thought I'd begin there. Now when I have a working laptop looping rig based on Bidule I can take my time learning Max/ MSP for future needs. I still only have a 1 GHz centrino and it doesn't make sense to start creating what I have in mind for Max/MSP until I get a more powerful machine. On the Mac there is already Numerology that would be my dream combination with Mobius. But since Mobius only runs on PC I may have to duplicate my most beloved Numerology patches with Max to use with Mobius on the PC.
