  • Building a MIDI Footswitch for Mobius Looper

    There are maybe a few hundred people in the world who run Circular Labs Mobius as their primary looper. It is a free AU/VST plugin that runs inside any DAW. Ethan Tufts at Strymon is one of them. He performs as State Shirt, building full arrangements live with Mobius running inside Ableton. When I saw what he was doing, I knew this was the looper. Eight parallel loops. Quantized switching. Half-speed, reverse, multiply. Everything the Echoplex promised but in software.

    The problem is controlling it. Your hands are on the guitar. You need your feet. And nobody on earth sells a MIDI foot controller designed for Mobius. Not Strymon. Not anybody.

    So here is one. This page contains everything you need to build your own.
