It is with all versions of Live 11.3 (in beta release now, not GA yet) and up. It is MPE capable as well, which is a Live 11-only thing.

Totally. Focus on machines with wide sweet spots imo
I think it is nice to have both. Like System-8 and Hydrasynth complement eachother perfectly 
S8 is massive sweetspot. Hydrasynth is endless possibilities.
Finally got my Centercode account and got everything set up. Drift is just as nice in person as it looked in the video ā the UI really is a delight and thereās something that feels very hardware-like about it, paradoxically more so than some plugins that emulate real hardware. I think itās a combination of how economically designed the UI is and the fact that this is its native element.
One early observation: while Drift sounds great on its own, it also layers fantastically in an instrument rack.

I am having so much fun playing the Drift presets from my LinnStrument 
Iāve been looking for some reason to get back into sequencing on a āreal computerā and this might be itā¦
(finding it funny the other posts that show up when I search for āableton driftā btw)

Marketing Team: āThese drift issues are giving us a bad rep, how can we address this?ā
Engineers: āLetās make a new instrument and call it āDriftā, so when people search for āAbleton Driftā the results say āAbleton Drift is awesome!āā

I dont think you did. I am on the latest stable release of Live11 and I get the orange bar no matter what, when i switch out my interface or laptop headphones. The fact that they fixed this is good news.

Iām getting the same behaviour with windows 11. I have a sneaking suspicion that this is something that has worked seamlessly for a while with mac, but canāt guarantee it.
Im on Mac and unfortunately thats not the case for me.
Beardyās Ableton/iPad setup

I remember a gig many years ago with beardyman and he was showing us the early version of his ipad setup and my mind was blown.

Thanks for posting! Clearly some mad scientist stuff, but I have just coincidentally discovered TouchOSC (which he mentions as a driver of at least one of these iPads next to Lemur), and this was full of inspiration for much more modest setup ideas, tooā¦
Looks fun especially with the Push 2 controller. Iām dreaming that Ableton build a real hardware stand alone synthesizer on par with the MPC Live and Waldorf boxes with native Ableton Live ability to record into various formats.

imo the guy deserves appreciation thread, what a monster of a performer he isā¦

Which specific m4l sequencers do you like in comparison to the Cirklon and why? Iām intrigued!
asd just uploaded another quite inspiring Ableton sound design tutorial. This episode feels pretty straight forward compared to the older, almost fear inducing videos but itās still amazingly elegant and well made.
In case anyone gets out off by the thumb design: donāt be fooled! This is grade A stuff.

There are so many - what do you want in a sequencer? Here are some I use and itās just a small % of what is out there.
HY-32 is crazy good. It can cover a ton of Cirklon functionality right there for you.
AlexKiddās are perfect for House music. And that makes a difference for drums since you can easily dial up genre specific rhythms if you want.
Euclid Pro is Euclidian sequencing on steroids. God tier for techno.
The greatest chorder of all time is ChordiMist. I have made very musical arpggios and crazy progressions that I could never make on anything else that I own.
There is MetropSeq which is a Metropolis sequencer module ITB.
AICD for generating TD303 lines.
Snake Sequencer is a classic for mono lines. So good and free.
MonoSequencer is also awesome.
Between all of those plus using probability inside the ableton piano roll as well, I can easily accomplish more than on a Cirklon.
