AW: Burned by Oberheim EDP... switching to Mobius?

The main source for info on Mobius is the Mobius discussion group (look for
the link at www.zonemobius.com).

As for memory needs: Mobius doesn't require a lot of memory just "sitting
there" (9MB?), but keep in mind that it stores all of its loops in RAM.  So
if you currently used a 16MB EDP and don't want to go beyond that, taking
into account that Mobius does everything in stereo, the total requirement
for Mobius + sample storage would be about 31MB.

Keep in mind that you eventually will make use of Mobius' eight tracks.

Generally speaking, Mobius is quite easy on computer resources (unless you
use pitch shift, which is kind of a CPU hog). If you use Mobius as a sync
master (syncing other apps on the computer to it), make sure not to tax the
CPU too hard or you will find the MIDI out swaying.
