I love the concept of being able to use one foot button for a sequence of looping actions, or alternate actions. For Mobius I use the built-in scripting to customize the interface for my FCB1010. For Ableton Live, Augustus Loop and my EDP that I was mainly using two years ago I was working in the way Zoe described in her latest post, to achieve multi functionality in single foot buttons. A further dimension, available with Mobius (and to some extend with the EDP) is to have a single button do different things depending on what looping mode you happen to bee in at the moment. Like, for example, if the loop is in Multiply Mode the button reacts as "Record" which means you cut the loop right away, un-quantized. But if the loop should be in Overdub Mode the same button would work as as a "Speed" button that lets you record octave jumps for any overdubbed audio input. Etc, etc... By scripting you can achieve almost anything you might envision. It seems the LP also offers some of this flexibility, as posted by Steve Lawson: > the beauty for me of the LP is that it's infinitely open-ended - > you can perceive the 8 tracks in any way you want - as layers, as > next loops, in groups of 2/3/4 etc. etc. lots of different ways, > all of which will affect the way you program the buttons.
