RE: Mobius bugs

["Alan Kroeger" <nospam@akroeger.com>]

I actually like it and a lot of the other indicators they are great for
indicating what state Mobius is operating in but, I don't know if this is a
video hardware issue Luis was talking about or just a general dislike of 
the
effect?
Maybe just make the message appear smaller and not over the top of some
other status indicators for slower video cards? How about a menu config 
item
for show/hide preset status indicator?????

This sounds like the "preset alert".  This is a little popoup window that
should display for a few seconds whenever the preset changes.  The intent
here was that during performance, changing presets with a foot controller,
you would have some visible feedback about the preset you had just 
selected.
If everyone hates it, I can easily make it go away :-)

Unrounded multiply is one of the things that requires an ASIO driver to
avoid a slight skip immediately after the record end.  If that is what
you're hearing, it is compensating for latency but you should only hear it
on the first play of the new loop.  I also quantize the record end if
quantize is on, I'm not sure if the EDP does this. If not I can add a
parameter to disable it.
