If you are not familiar with the many sides of the modes Record and Multiply you can find information about that in the EDP manual (link somewhere on the circularlabs.com Mobius pages). Both these commands work slightly differently depending on the mode they are fired off. One example: "The lame duck period" is the time between when a command is given and the point where it is implemented (due to quantization and switch quantization settings in the preferences). If you hit NextLoop and then Multiply before the loop change occurs the Multiply mode will be applied to the new loop when you arrive there. Another example is if you already are in Multiply mode and hit Record, then Multiply is cut off right away, side-stepping the SwitchQuant (pref¨s) setting; i.e. resulting an un-quantized truncation of the loop. There are more useful things to know about combination of modes, I just mentioned two off the top of my head. You need to check them out to understand how to use Mobius optimally and if I recall it correctly the Mobius manual doesn't go into this in detail but refers to the EDP manual.
