Hi Indigo and list,
Having just been playing with Mobius for a few minutes, I can already
tell you that setting things up must be done in the stand alone
application, and it requires that you be familiar extensively with your
screen reader's review cursor or mouse pointer--whatever your screen
reader calls it, because although you have a nice standard menu bar at
the top of the screen that you can get to with your traditional alt and
arrow keys, that's about all you can do with the keyboard as far as
navigating. Once you get into the dialogues to set stuff up, you will
have to do a lot of mousing around and clicking and all that crap.
There is no way to get any list of the hotkeys that Mobius uses, the
only thing I got to work was R to record. When you hit R to record,
assuming you've set your audio devices correctly, you should be able to
record something and then hear a loop played over and over again. But
when you press R to overdub, what you have recorded gets overwritten,
and there is no way to check if overdubbing is turned on or off without
trial and error. I'm going to see if I can make Mobius be the looper it
was created to be by loading it on its own track in Reaper and sending
other audio tracks to it but I'm guessing it won't deliver. So for now,
this is all I've got to report. The plugin cannot be configured in
Reaper it must be configured in the stand alone application, even
selecting the tracks that Mobius should record from is not accessible.
So, to recap, I'm not saying for certain, but right now it looks like
we're going to have to try something else, as you will be spending most
of your time dancin and prancin with your review cursor around the main
application. The initial configuration of the software is a pain in the
butt, and the program is already complex to use as it is, without all
these pathetic accessibility barriers which don't need to be there in
the first place. But hey, I'm going to try the Reaper trick like I
said, and maybe that will give us something to work with after all, it
will be awesome if this plugin works for us!
