AR scene/performance pads template

Hello,
I saw couples of thread talking about scene/performance on the AR mk2. Its definitely helped me to get inspired with some crazy ideas, but i can’t figure out the way I should arrange everything on the pads. For example in OT i follow Merlin guide tips on scenes and that helped me to go through my performance smoothly, but i don’t know how that will work on the AR mk2 (doesn’t make sense a lot to me).
Any ideas how to make the best of it?
thank you so much

I usually do 4 scenes … i start with usually scene 1 having either a tracks sample off, or the voice.
Scene 2 I usually change an envelope parameter.
Scene 3 will be a build up scene where I’ll change the samples on some tracks (take the kicks sample and put a nasty snare on it.)

Scene 4 … full on brutal mode where i really mangle everything.

I have an octatrack but I can’t recall if i follow merlin’s suggestions for scenes. I just recently figured out my workflow on it.
T1: i leave no trigs on it and make it a flex track. I load a sample in it’s slot that I’ll trigger live.

T2, 3, 5, & 6 are static tracks where i have various atmospheric sounds, sound fx, textures.

T4 is a thru machine where i have my mono evolver plugged in.

T7 is free,
T8 is master

All I’m doing with my scenes is changing a few parameters but mostly bringing each track in.

S16 is all tracks off
S1 brings in the evolver
S9 brings in T5
S2 … T2
etc

i hope this helps.

Fuuuudgeeee, i have the biggest show of my life this coming weekend. i better get movin’
