I've been testing Mobius 1.30G all day now and must admit that I was  
wrong. The old "glitch" I was talking about is gone by now. When  
starting the first loop by Record - Record I could not reproduce the  
glitch nor the drop-out. This is really good news and I have to  
apologize to Jeff and anyone reading my previous mail and thus  
getting exposed to incorrect information.

As for the drop-outs they sometimes appear when creating the first  
loop by Record - Overdub.

Yes, there is still the problem with Multiply - Multiply, when done  
on the master track:  the playback jumps to the middle of the loop  
instead of proceeding from the beginning. I get around this issue by  
going Multiply - Overdub instead.

I tried to make a script that uses the same foot pedal for starting  
Multiply and ending it with Overdub ("if" in Multiply mode). This did  
not work though; after the second press the track was not going into  
Overdub mode, even though Multiply was ended. So for smooth  
multiplying you need to remember to step on two buttons; Multiply and  
Overdub button.
