Issues with Logic Pro and Mobius plugin

[gude2000]

1. On track setup, I can't seem to be able to assign tracks to different groups on the drop-down menu. Am I doing something wrong or is this feature not working?

2. On configuration/display components/selected track controls, the group assignment doesn't show (I guess because it can't be set in the first place?)

3. Group doesn't show up on track configuration/ track strip controls either.

4. Crackling noise making the pitch up/pitch down functionality unusable. Is this feature supposed to be working correctly or is it in a "beta" stage on the Mac plugin?

5. When right click/presets, I can't select a new preset from the drop-down list

6. Is there any way to hit a single button to immediately restart a loop from the beginning on the fly, no matter where you are on that loop?

Thanks for your answers.

Hmm, not working. It's a bug.

Yes. You could set the group with a script, but it's complicated.

Same as 2. It is probably being drawn it's just empty since the track
has no group assigned.

The one problem I'm aware of is that pitch shift causes a slight
delay which can sometimes be heard as a soft "bump". If you're hearing
a sharper "click" and it happens all the time, not just at the moment
you change the pitch, then your buffer size is probably too low.

Pitch shift is an complex algorithm that takes a lot of CPU power
to do in real-time. If your audio buffer isn't large enough to
allow for the pitch processing you'll "miss an interrupt" which will
sound like a click.

If you're running standalone go to the Audio Devices dialog and
double the suggested latency. If you're running the plugin the host
should have somewhere to set the buffer size.

Unfortunately this will raise latency, but that's always the tradeoff
with pitch shift.

So within the central Moibus window area, right click to get a popup
menu, move down to the "Presets" item, see another popup to the right,
select a preset that doesn't have a check next to it...and nothing happens?

I'm testing on a PC so this may be a Mac thing, will try later.

Yes. The easiest way to do this is to bind a button to the Retrigger
function.

Thanks VERY MUCH for the answers !!:)

For some reason, preset selection is working ok now... strange.

The crackling goes away with increased buffer size, but the up or down pitch-shifted audio drags behind the other tracks very noticeably- unfortunately, not usable for my purposes. Is latency at play here as well? It's a catch 22 then: increase buffer size, get better pitch-shifted audio but much worse timing... I guess you can't have it all.

Retrigger works for my purposes... except I would like to retrigger immediately but keep switch quantize to "loop" (it seems it needs to be "off" for retrigger to work immediately and not wait until the end of the loop). Is this doable?
