Re: Recommendations for a new loop pedal...

Fabio, will Mobius save  pre-recorded loops (like drum loops) that you load in and play live as Siobahn mentioned?
I wasn't aware that it had that capability but you know it and I don't.

Yes, it's what I do nowdays.

I have "projects" file that I recall in Mobius with just 1 click and it loads the 8 tracks with all the configurations I need, plus a few prerecorded loops. That loads also volume, pan setting  and state of the tracks (mute on/off, for example).

Inside Bidule I drive the audio output of each track from mobius to a mixer and from here I can record the sum of all tracks/loops or each single track/loop/live playing in different files that later can be easily exported and mixed.

Also, it should probably be good to mention that Siobahn may have to do a clean install of the Macbook Pro to install
Mobius as, to my knowldege, one can only run it on a Windows Operating System and not Mac OSX.   That hasn't
changed has it?

Yes ! A Mac version is avalilable too.

When I looked into it last,  you actually have to do a clean install in order to set up a dual boot system on a Macbook Pro.

You will also need dedicated Midi pedals ($150 USD on upwards) and a dedicated break out box with a sound card that also has Midi I/O      ($100 upwards to $1500) to control Mobius which, itself, is free.

Surely, you need an audio interface and a midi controller.

 I think it's money well spended and today you have a lot of cheap products out of here, as the korg NANO series.

Personally, I have an RME FF400 as audio interface; a nanokontrol and an FCB1010 as MIDI controller.

Recently I've started using my old Kaoss Pad II as a midi controller too, to send midi messages to my piano, so I can get treat its sound in real time.
