Re: Did a quick Mobius gig today :-)

Per, can you remind me how you are runing mobius? Are you running it as a 
standalone or inside a VST host?

After watching Jeff this last weekend here in Boise at the festival, I am 
even more motivated to go 100% laptop. I'm almost there anyway. I only use 
the Looperlative and the VF1 in a two space rack, then my computer for all 
my tone mangling effects. In fact, I can already run 100% laptop now, by 
using my two notebooks, one dedicated to just Mobius. I'm just trying to 
get 
everything on one notebook....I'm almost convinced that I can do it with 
MAX/PSP after talking to Jeff, but getting the stability I require with 
both 
Mobius and all my intense VST effects on the same machine, inside the 
Chainer or Energy XT VST hosts, is still dubious. It's not a processor 
issue, as I'm using a screaming ThinkPad wiht the Intel duo processor, 
plenty of RAM, etc. It's a systematic issue between different software 
systems, yet MAX/MSP seems like a very stable and holistic system, in 
which 
you can write your own looping plugin to work seamlessly inside MAX/MSP 
and 
with other VST effects. I was amazed when Jeff indicated how processor 
efficient the program was.

I don't know what is holding me back from making the 
leap...fear....holding 
tenaciously onto the security of hardware effects and looping, who 
knows....

Very nice! Not to mention the ease of expandability....I feel the same
way, laptop life-style rocks!

Rick Walker? Are you listening....?
