Re: another mobius question


There are a lot of general questions being asked on this thread
so I'm going to jump around a bit.

Yes that works.  The basic technique is to start Multiply,
then use Wait to wait for the desired period of time, then
do Record.  The loop will be resized so that it starts whevever
the Multiply started and ends wherever the Record was done.  
Note though that the initial Multiply will be subject
to Quantize Mode.  

I think a lot of the questions on this thread would be made
clearer if the documentation for "Wait" wasn't so bad
(non existant really).  I'll work on that this weekend, but
some quick examples:

   # wait for the start of the next subcycle
   Wait subcycle

   # wait for the start of the subycle after the next subcycle
   Wait subcycle 2

   # wait for the start of a specific subcycle
   # subcycles are numbered from 0
   Wait until subcyle 3

So, going back to your example, instead of having several lines of "Wait 
cycle"
you could also do:

   Wait cycle 7
