Comments on: How to sync plugins to Mobius looper in Bidule http://www.perboysen.com/archives/542 In search of the unplayed music...

Your a genius and very kind thanks. You're right I was pressing record for my second loop. After a little more experimentation found that Time Copy Mode = Multiply seems very good for what I want to do... finally getting a little grip on the depths of this program in combo with bidule. Got a bit of a crackly sound which I havent ironed out yet and for some strange reason GR4 isnt syncing its metronome to Mobius even though I told it too :) - along v similar lines to your diagram. Thank you, Chris Per,

Just a wild guess here. If doing that on the Master Track (the first track you start recording to) it will indeed change the global tempo. After having snagged your first loop to set the global tempo you should only use Record if you want to change the tempo or/and destructively truncate a loop's length by going Multiply ended by Record. Mobius offers many better ways. My own choice is to use either the NextLoop command or a command to directly choose a specified loop slot number on the selected track (for example "Loop3", "Loop5"). Since I have set preferences "Loop Copy = Timing" and "Time Copy Mode = Overdub" (set this under the Switch tab in Configuration/Presets) a new empty loop in overdub mode will be created and I can just keep playing seamlessly to lay down a bunch of alternative loops on the selected track. Like in this demo video: http://www.perboysen.com/archives/132 @Chris,

I have a question though. I want to start with a loop, so I record my first loop then the tempo is set. then when i go for a second loop i want it to have the same tempo (might be different length) I have tried and tried to no avail, mobius will just create some new tempo for my new loop. I also attempted approaching the other way around, defining a tempo in the midi clock to sync and getting mobius to sync to that (midi bar sync mode) however it weirdly will not record anything it just sits saying synchronisation. Any ideas help much appreciated. Chris Hi,
