Awesome setup, bro. thanks for
sharing it.
Now that it's ported to Mac, I can start recommending it,
highly to some of my students and may even begin using it
myself (though, I"m such a dedicated hardware guy).
I look forward to hearing your new setup. Perhaps at the
Rome Live Looping Festival (the one coordinated with 8
other countries for next years huge Y2K13 International
Live Looping Festival. I've got Firenze, Milano, Berlin,
Koln, possibly Munchen, London, Norwich lined up with
possibles in Scandinavia as well, and Singapore, Tokyo,
Osaka and possibly Ubud, Bali, somewhere in Thailan and
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia lined up as well.
It's going to be epic!!!! I hope you will consider doing
at least a small festival in Rome. We want to coordinate
to have all European festivals occur within two or
possibly three weeks of each other in July so that foreign
artists can afford to hit all of them in order.
Much love, Rick
Fabio, will Mobius save pre-recorded loops (like drum
loops) that you load in and play live as Siobahn mentioned?
I wasn't aware that it had that capability but you know
it and I don't.
Yes, it's what I do nowdays.
I have "projects" file that I recall in Mobius with just 1
click and it loads the 8 tracks with all the configurations I
need, plus a few prerecorded loops. That loads also volume, pan
setting and state of the tracks (mute on/off, for example).
Inside Bidule I drive the audio output of each track from
mobius to a mixer and from here I can record the sum of all
tracks/loops or each single track/loop/live playing in different
files that later can be easily exported and mixed.
Also, it should probably be good to mention that Siobahn
may have to do a clean install of the Macbook Pro to install
Mobius as, to my knowldege, one can only run it on a
Windows Operating System and not Mac OSX. That hasn't
changed has it?
Yes ! A Mac version is avalilable too.
When I looked into it last, you actually have to do a
clean install in order to set up a dual boot system on a
Macbook Pro.
You will also need dedicated Midi pedals ($150 USD on
upwards) and a dedicated break out box with a sound card
that also has Midi I/O ($100 upwards to $1500) to
control Mobius which, itself, is free.
Surely, you need an audio interface and a midi controller.
I think it's money well spended and today you have a lot of
cheap products out of here, as the korg NANO series.
Personally, I have an RME FF400 as audio interface; a
nanokontrol and an FCB1010 as MIDI controller.
Recently I've started using my old Kaoss Pad II as a midi
controller too, to send midi messages to my piano, so I can get
treat its sound in real time.
