Got it, but I meant connecting more than one Mobius application on a
computer, via MIDI,
and between multiple computers. I suppose anything is possible with MIDI
and
a MIDI
junction (grand central station) box of some sort.

I think we are just talking about different things here. I'm talking more
about using
sync to quantize what we play and force it into a meter, or making it
easier
for multiple
people to play in meter, or to a pre-set pattern. I do understand that
regardless of there being a
meter in place, you can nonetheless do what you want...I do it frequently
in
jazz. I guess I'm
speaking more of meter syncing when that function alters what we
originally
play. It basically
comes down to control for me....I'm a conrol freak. :) I like to control
the flow of
music myself, so a constant meter in the background, even if I can play
outside of it
would serve no purpose for me, unless I want it to change what I play
(whic
isn't the
case).
Sorry for the confusion. I probably never explained myself on this one
that
well.
