Re: WHY - multiply?

["Kris Hartung" <krispen.hartung@gmail.com>]

Cripes...a lot of dicsussion on this! :)    I have to say, I weened myself 
off of Multply in Mobius recently, and now I'm just looping on additional 
tracks because I can achieve the same goal but have more flexibility to 
mute, manipulate, or reset individual parts.

Sidenote: I am syncing mobius to Live, but Next Loop is acting really funky. 
Anyone doing this with success?

Correct. It is not equal to Multiply-->Record but rather
complimentary. I particularly appreciate having 3 as an optional
coefficient. The Instant Divide/Multiply is also fun to "abuse", like
for example divide down to a very, very short loop down in granular
undergound and then maybe play melodies with it by speed shifting
until finally go back again along the Undo/Redo path until you are
back at the original loop. One can do this to a parallel loop while an
older loop plays along in a normal way.

I was thinking more from the customer's point of view. I'd rather pay
for an awesome looper than for a little less awesome looper with a
built-in recording facility.
