Nothing AFAIK. Laptops can do the same processing. I just find it
more convenient to have all my effect chaining programs saved in an
external box together with all parameters MIDI cc bindings, rather
than having to run a audio plug-in host application and set up plug-
in chains as "channel strip patches", or whatever the actual host
application might call it. I also like the sound I managed to coax
out of the TC FireworX device and regard it more like an instrument
for every day I'm using it. And if you want to learn to play an
instrument you shouldn't change it after you have once set it up for
optimal usability. By using this external effect processor (PRE
looping) I can eliminate the need for a host application. I can
simply run only the Mobius looper on a laptop - and that's it. I'm
not saying that "computers are bad", I just happened to bump into a
rig that works well for me. I have not been researching software
because I love software, I have been doing it only to find a suitable
live looping rig. And now it turns out the pieces come together in
this particular combination, and I then I want to use my time making
music with it.
