Hi Matt,

At the moment I'm concentrating on Bidule. For a n00b that is a  
faster and easier way to set up a host applications for software  
looping (Mobius) with software instruments and effects. I don't doubt  
that Max can do everything Bidule does and even more, but right now I  
don't need that extra Max power. However, I have been reading the Max  
and Msp manuals as well as tinkering around with some tutorials and  
I'm pretty sure I will buy Max for the direct purpose of creating my  
own playable multi effect plug-ins, as a longtime strategy to replace  
my tc electronics fireworX rack device with a laptop only solution.  
But I can't say right now if I will be running these plug-ins in Max,  
Bidule or Numerology (mac).
