Re: another mobius question - a new one!

[Simeon Harris <simeonharris40@googlemail.com>]

actually i got this to work much better if i changed "slipforward 2" to "slipforward"

it behaves in just the way rainer wanted it to and the loop length isn't altered

i stuck in a "wait cycle" before "the actual function", so i don't know if that helped

I found some bugs that were causing the "deterministic chaos".  It's complicated but it has

to do with latency compensation and doing functions that change fundamental

playback properties like location (slipforward) and direction (reverse) at exactly

the same time.  Here's a version that I think works, to avoid the bugs you have

to put "Wait last" after each slipforward and reverse function to make sure that

it is completely finished (after the latency delay) before executing the next funtion.

Oh, I also had to change the final slipforward to "slipforward 2" so that it skipped

ahead two subcycles.  Otherwise you would keep oscillating in the same subcycle

forever.
