Re: Bidule+Mobius glitches

What Per Said. A lot of the time, AU plugins are just VSTs with a wrapper around them (I don't know about Mobius specifically, but I know a couple of 'biggish' plugin companies that do this), and in some cases, they don't have the functionality of VSTs in certain hosts-- Bidule is usually fairly forgiving, but if I have the choice of what to run (VST vs AU), I use the VST every time. I made it through my loopfest set with Bidule hosting Mobius as a VST. 

Good luck,

Hi Dave, 

Try the VST plugin version! To me the VST works better as a Bidule host compared to the AU. 

Your crashes can also have to do with the host/plugin sync; you didn't tell by your email if you run Mobius AU synced or as the sync master. Myself I always run Mobius as the sync master and one reason for that is to be able to mangle and abuse audio without causing conflicts (of course I'm causing huge trouble for other plugins that try to follow the sync clock Mobius drives, but they are just delays, tremolos or beat synced LFOs that doesn't crash but maybe jumps over a beat or so to catch up.

Hi

Anyone else out there using mobius as a plug-in (AU) to bidule? And crazy enough to do things like hit a speed shift controller whilst mobius is multiplying? That causes a freeze on my setup - the dreaded SBBOD (macbook pro/ bidule .9732/ mobius2.5)!

Now the obvious answer is not to hit silly combinations of buttons, but that's just one of the (random) ways I work! Now it doesn't seem to be entirely down to the combination (which includes softstep & my own home-brewed controller group), since mobius as standalone will simply reset the loop upon the same combination of commands from GUI buttons. As plug-in, a force-quit generates a monster report which certainly involves a lot of 'semaphore - wait' calls, so I'm wondering whether it's worth trying to pursue this as a bug, or to find a way of preventing myself from indulging in such practices (I know - I'll go deaf....  :)

In an ideal world of course, one should be able to abuse the software all one likes, & although it might not respond the way you expect/want, it wouldn't crash.That's asking a lot I know, but I just wondered.......
