I’m doing the same hardware failsafe approach – if Bidule/
Mobius crashes (in all likelihood due to the “bypass from nowhere” phenomenon that
3 of us have reported about over at Circ. Labs), I have an EDP receiving the
same audio and same button presses from my FCB. When brought up in the mix, it isn’t
the same lop, but doesn’t usually sound like TOO much of a jump cat.

thinking of feeding the eh.w.hazarai from the master stereo bus of the sw
setup. can record 30 sec. of stereo material, which may be enough to entertain
them during some minutes if doing the varispeed thing. :-)

Good point. I do but the backup appears to corrupt too...if
that is the problem.

That's good news....not ;-) Mainstage 2.1 is not stable here
at the
moment, it was so-so for a while but not good enough, I'm sure now.
2.0 was stable, did Y2K with that, 1.0 was ok too. We'll see, I'm
building a "safe my ass" rig now if things go wrong, partly hardware,
partly software. Nord Wave as synth, Bidule for some FX and
softsynths, a Lexicon for reverbs and the LP1 as looper. If the Mac
fails, you won't hear "the sound of silence".
