Not ;-)  I managed to program some stuff I like in that box. So why  
not play with it?

Standalone. In the past I used it as VST but I changed my mind. The  
pitch transformation stuff I was using the host (Live) for can be  
done with scripting inside Mobius, so I don't need a host any more.

That's what I thought too after reading the manual. But when setting  
up such an external send loop from the FireworX I found the latency  
way too big, when using analog ports.

I also like to record the processed sound into the loops, as part of  
the instrument I play. I think that it's much more exciting than  
looping raw sound and then applying effects in a sort of "re-mix"  
attitude. I believe that the smaller set-up you are using the  
stronger grows the statement you make. And that's what I think music  
is about.
