Hello Jeff,
I was trying to do the third one > "Pause". As I used (and still use) 
the Digitech Jamman Looper before, I was confused because I didn't find 
a "Stop"-function. I think I have to get into this "other kind" of 
looping, which was sometimes called "delay-like" here on the list.
Mobius (and the EDP) offer a lot of functions; I want to use the "right 
ones" in my setup (for instance, does anybody use "Play" or is this the 
concept of a "delay-like" looper, that it is alway playing...?)

I added "Pause" to the list - thank you for your advice. Until now I 
didn't think of reset as a "stop mode", although I already used it that 
way.

Mobius is now recording again; had to switch from ASIO to the MME-Driver 
of my soundcard. Unfortunately I can't remember which one I was using 
with 1.24 ...

The current setup:

Button 1: Record
Button 2: Pause
Button 3: Overdub
Button 4: Mute
Button 5: Reset
(trying to keep some physical space between the buttons for the 
'destructive' functions Record and Reset and the often used Overdub button)

external footswitch 1: Undo (ten steps)
external footswitch 2: Redo (one step)
(have to figure out how this works in combination with overdubbing; keep 
loosing orientation at the moment)

external pedal 1: Feedback
external pedal 2: Output Level
