Thanks Petri, Ted, Lasse, and Adam!
Lasse, I was using an RE20 as a mic this time which isn't the best solution for bowing but sounds amazing on bass for pizz.
Adam, your comment about using the SS for controlling pyrotechnics cracked me up this morning. That sucks it's not working. I'm still troubleshooting my mobius issues in my setup. I'm on Snow leopard so maybe this could be an issue with leopard? Have you tried only loading the init scene in one of the four slots to make things as simple as possible to start. Got the latest firmware, VJ26? What's the exception? Is it like an error message? When I download my scenes to the SS it happens almost immediately.
