You have to pipe the audio stream from your audio interface input into Mobius. Regard Ableton Live as a mixer. > would you use ableton live or a different program? I was usinig Ableton in the past but now I prefer Bidule for two reasons: (1) Letting me use 16 alternative effect chains pre looper with no extra CPU load and (2) perfect sync with tempo dependent effects and Mobius used as the sync master to set the global tempo by the first loop recorded (Ableton tends to loos sync when run as the sync slave). > about the fcb1010: i would like the buttons 1-7 to react like the > original edp buttons. 1. Make sure your FCB pedals only send out one MIDI Note each (default is sending out a cluster of events). 2. Assign the pedals you want to use to the Mobius functions you want to use (MIDI learn in Mobius, very easy). Since you are familiar with the EDP I suggest you simply read the Mobius manual and locate the functions corresponding to the function you are used to with the EDP and duplicate your trusty old EDP set- up. Then you can expand it piece by piece as you go into the brave new future. Greetings from Sweden Per Boysen www.boysen.se (Swedish) www.looproom.com (international)
