makes sense for sure, I too was overwhelmed with the AR depth when I got it, so first thing I did was go over the factory patterns and play with each of their scenes and perf macros to get the idea what’s possible, there’s many factory patterns to play with / modify.
after that I opened a project and started building patterns with they synth engines only, just to get familiar with them.
after I’ve had a good idea of the synth engines I’ve started playing with samples, there’s not much factory samples so I just got many from what comes with Ableton, but you can use any pack or whatever to get oneshots/synths/single
cycle waves.
I’m still learning, there’s so much things here, it will take time to master the beast.
btw, there’s a great thread here that can teach sequencing techniques:
there are also some sample packs in the Files section if the forum.
