Re: Did a quick Mobius gig today :-)

Well, this is great. Now all of you (starting with Jeff) have me all hot 
and 
bothered over MAX/MSP, yet I can't can't seem to find that $500 in pocket 
change under my couch cushions to get it...soon, I'll have it.  Although, 
I 
just setup my two laptops, one with my VST effect system, the other with 
Mobius...running great.  I sort of like the idea of having two notebooks. 
Each notebook can actually run a scaled down, self-contained system with 
Mobius and a subset of my VST effects. That way, if I'm on a gig and one 
computer has issues, I have a backup. Plus, by running just my VSTs on one 
machine, I can really load it up and run a lot of stuff at the same time.
