Re: Mobius Scripting question...

[Robert Craig Thomas <robert@robertcthomas.com>]

Per, thanks for the tip, I went through and reset everything to defaults and it solved some of the basic problems

Sorry for the uninteresting and boring (and probably stupid) questions, but I've spent several days and several hours a day wrestling with scripting in Mobius...

But I am still having problems using Multiply... if I use normal Midi bindings to 1) NextLoop 2) Multiply... then the multiply doesn't take over, regardless of an empty loop or a "copy timing" loop...

And when I script 1) NextTrack 2) Multiply... that works fine... but 1) NextLoop 2) Multiply... this doesn't work

What are the peculiarities of the function "Multiply" that make it different from the normal function "Record" ?  Sorry for the stupid questions, but the manual lacks a lot of details when it comes to certain functions... e.g. among other mysteries,  I'm still trying to understand how to use "Variable" in a script...

Is there somewhere on Loopers Delight were there are lists of sample scripts? I've searched the forum and scripts are mentioned but on the interent overall I've yet to find an actual collection of sample scripts for Mobius...

Thanks in advance for any help using Scripting...

Check your Mobius settings, so they don't conflict with the script
regarding what mode to go into upon change of track.
