Re: Is it Ableton Live - or is it me?



Is anyone here actually using Mobius with Live?  I'm reading through the
Mobius/EDP manuals right now, and Live seems the perfect sequencer type
software to compliment Mobius.  I'd be interested to hear your experience.
 Do you recommend any other sequencers to work with it?
