Maple and Bidule... success! Kind of

[Mark Sottilaro <sine@zerocrossing.net>]

Thanks Doug and Per, with your help I got it up and running...  but I  
don't think this type of thing will work for me.  I record that first  
loop, all by my lonesome, and just as I end the loop my drum machine  
(Rayzoon's Jamstix) starts playing along just like a drummer joining  
in.  Perfect!  Then I decided to start a second loop... oops.  No  
more sync for Jamstix.  Everything screeches to a halt. (except for  
the sound of me recording my second loop)

Is there some work around I'm unaware of?  I can't imagine... unless  
somehow the second loop had a preset length (like Jeff is working on  
for me) Mobius could send sync right away because IT KNOWS.  Now  
doing it this way Mobius has no way of knowing what I'm going to do  
for my  next loop so it sits patently and waits.

OH well.  At least I made it happen.  I'm home from work with a  
fever,  That's probably why.

BTW to all, check out Jamstix.  It's a really great tool for doing  
loops with... you know, when Rick Walker's not around.
