I see it more as an expanded DJ mixer with FX and the ability to have all tracks, stems, loops play simultaneously…
It’s a dream come true, as way back, I’d load my loops into Live and set everything up to switch between ‘any’ loop every 16th (for example) but it wasn’t particularly intelligent. Legato was on so it all stayed in sync but it was very limiting if you loaded anything with swing or something that wasn’t edited already.
I mean I got results but it was way too much digging, and also the FX side was problematic.
I’m happy with that whole modular type approach where you set something up, see what happens, tweak a bit, see what ‘the system’ does and then really target in and whittle down what your aims are.
I see no difference to plucking a string differently or touching a key, I do something and then change what/how I do it depending on what comes out.
If only human relationships were so easy
