Use the three commands
- Start Recording
- Stop Recording
- Save Recording

You may assign them to three computer keys or three external MIDI
events, whatever you find convenient.

Another way is to record the system audio on the computer; on Mac
there is Audio HiJack that does this and some other app from Ambrosia.
We had a discussion on this about a month back on this list.

Of course you can run two instances! To avoid conflicts you must make
sure you are using different MIDI In Ports since both Mobius instances
share the same MIDI Configuration. Then you need to set up a way to
target either of these two MIDI In Ports in order to select which one
of the two Mobius instances you want to affect with the given command.
This is for external MIDI control, I don't think you can separate the
two instances access to keyboard key commands.
