Still in the midst of my most productive phase ever, and the key is that Note’s always there when there’s a bit of dead time, and so quick to get something going. Instead of firing up my gear at the desk once a week, most stuff’s getting done at bus stops or other times I would’ve probably just been doom scrolling
For me the randomised sounds are a great antidote to option paralysis and to explore directions I wouldn’t usually go. And the 8-scene / 8 track limit is perfect for getting some quick structure and focus.
I’ve checked out so many portable devices in the past, which are alright for long journeys, but the reality is I’m unlikely to carry them around all the time waiting for 5 or 10 minutes here and there. M8 is tiny enough…might try that at some point for variety. But yeah…Note and a pair of wired earpods that live in my pocket (non-starter on bluetooth). Been a revolution.
Is there any way to add a whole library of samples to Note ? I see it has a ‘user library’ but couldn’t find a way to add to it … looks like that’s meant for cloud sync with Live or something ?
Question: Did I overlook something or doesn’t Ableton Note react on incoming MIDI Clock / Transport messages? There’s Ableton Link, but the Digitakt doesn’t really provide that. It would be nice to get tempo / transport sync with Ableton Note, I think it makes a nice addition for polyphonic sounds.
