Re: Maple and Bidule... success! Kind of

Jamstix is awesome. :)  I'm not using it right now because it's pretty CPU heavy, but it's a blast to play with.

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're describing.  Are you creating this "second loop" in the same track/loop position as the first one (the master loop)?  If so, what you're saying makes sense (and I can confirm I've experienced it) - Mobius stops sending clock when there is no complete loop to act as the master loop.

If you're creating this second loop on another track or another loop on the same track, then I'm confused.  Mobius should still be sending clock based on that first master loop.

Thanks Doug and Per, with your help I got it up and running...  but I
don't think this type of thing will work for me.  I record that first
loop, all by my lonesome, and just as I end the loop my drum machine
(Rayzoon's Jamstix) starts playing along just like a drummer joining
in.  Perfect!  Then I decided to start a second loop... oops.  No
more sync for Jamstix.  Everything screeches to a halt. (except for
the sound of me recording my second loop)

Is there some work around I'm unaware of?  I can't imagine... unless
somehow the second loop had a preset length (like Jeff is working on
for me) Mobius could send sync right away because IT KNOWS.  Now
doing it this way Mobius has no way of knowing what I'm going to do
for my  next loop so it sits patently and waits.

OH well.  At least I made it happen.  I'm home from work with a
fever,  That's probably why.

BTW to all, check out Jamstix.  It's a really great tool for doing
loops with... you know, when Rick Walker's not around.
