It seems the most widely technique with Live is to use a foot pedal to
step up and down the scenes (thus selecting all horizontal slots of
the same number in all vertical tracks). Then you have some other
pedal for record enabling tracks, and then all empty slots in any
track on the new scene starts recording as you get there.

Another way would be to bind MIDI pedal buttons directly to certain
slots, but this means you need A HUGE pedal board with hundreds of
pedal buttons... ;-)

Great that Andy posted that you can record different loops by
different lengths in Mobius and thus have them run at different tempi
- I forgot to tell that in my two earlier posts. I used to keep Mobius
set up that way back in the days when I war running the Mobius
standalone version and slaving external processing gear by MIDI Clock.
It was cool to feel all the beat synced stuff slow down or speed up as
you went "Next/Previous Loop" in Mobius.
