Sounds good... what I want to
be able to do is start/stop a metronome and mobius at the same time -
could I do that in Bidule?

Per,
that is exactly the conclusion I just came too. I am trying Mobius
right
now. This seems to be perfect.
But what is Mobius in Bidule? Is Bidule a bit like maxMSP ??
Yes. For my own needs I can achieve the same with Bidule as I would
otherwise use maxMSP for. maxMSP is deeper for the "tweakers by heart"
while Bidule has a user interface that is faster to get going with. I
tried both but made my choice for Bidule, also because Bidule handles
time in a musical way; as tempo and note duration, while maxMSP handles
time in a technical way; as milliseconds.
I have especially found Bidule good on the PC platform as a host for
VST plug-ins. All plug-ins that have any tempo related functionality
immediately give you the option to set them either be a sync master or
the sync slave to some other plug-in. Typically I run Mobius as the
sync master plug-in VST and everything else synced to Mobius VST by
Bidule's built-in syncing system. Bidule's system is not ReWire and not
MIDI Clock... I don't know what it, but it works well.
On the Mac I don't use Bidule because the built-in sync is not working
well with AU plug-ins and the Mac LOoper I prefer, Augustus Loop, is an
AU plug-in.
