Mobel is a bell ringing simulator for church bell ringers and handbell change ringers. It runs on Apple Mac, iPhone and iPad. When ringers are at home, travelling or at towers, Mobel lets them practise any method they are going to ring. It also shows the blue line diagram for any method, including bobs and singles. Practise any method on 4 to 16 bells. Ring plain courses, or touches that Mobel creates (including spliced). Add your own touches (compositions). Ring any bell; handbell ringers can ring any pair. Mobel rings the other bells, and speaks any calls. Conduct: put in bobs and/or singles yourself. See the blue line diagram for any method or composition that you have added. Line styles with or without the underlying bell numbers, or as a grid. Lines for bobs and singles. Pinch or use up/down keys to zoom the diagram. Select from 20,000 methods in the Central Council library. Change the speed of the ringing. Ring with or without a handstroke gap. Have Mobel wait if you hesitate - or continue in perfect rhythm. Edit methods and calls to create new methods or doubles variations. Basic instructions for using Mobel on Mac: - Click a bell to select it for ringing. - Click Start or press G to start the bells ringing rounds. - Then Click Go or press G again to ring the current composition and method. - Use the J key or spacebar, or click below the bell circle, to ring the bell you selected. - For handbells, use the J and F keys to ring a pair. - Conducting: use B and N keys, or click the top of the bell circle, for a bob or single. - Click Show to see the blue line for the current method. - Then double click to change line style, or pinch (or use up/down keys) to zoom. - Click the info (i) button to view and change settings. - Click the Help buttons for further information. Mobel comes from AbelSim, producer of the world's best-selling change ringing simulators: Abel for Windows PCs and Mabel for Apple Mac (see www.abelsim.co.uk). Mobel is not intended for handbell tune ringers: it rings changes, not tunes. The latest version runs on MacOS Big Sur.
