As others have mentioned, there are more powerful sample-playback options out there, but Mobius does have a little used feature that allows you to load up 10 samples that play from start to end whenever they are triggered. The samples don't loop, but they are routed into the input mix so you can record them along with any other live signal into a loop. The samples can also be "stacked" which means if you trigger one before the last one finishes they will overlay, which can create interesting polyrhythms of done carefully. The main limitation is that there is no level control. You have to prepare them outside Mobius to play at the level you want, and if you're going to play more than one at a time you have to very careful not to overload the mix. This is used mostly for my testing, so I have a way to record things into a loop without having to move away from the keyboard and play an instrument. But I've often wondered if this could be improved and made into a more useful performance tool. Jeff
