…no worries…if ur ready to take a deep dive, some muscle memory and some nerd factor u gonna be happy…
a few bpm are never a problem…
beyond 12 bpm of realtime change, yes, u can hear some grain…but as i loved the early ableton stretch algo’s, i really love ot’s stretch behaviour, which came out only one year after ableton launch…
so yes, these stretch algos can’t be compared to actual ones…but the musicality in this slight bit of imperfection are THE sonic spice…
mk2 was just a face lift…the internal processing was, like ableton, a game changer…
u can use ot as a computer free live set up center piece…
giving u the freedom to replicate ur computer productions live…
AND u can use it as THE sounddesign machine in first place like nothing else…still…and pretty much forever…
cause these a little imperfect stretch algos won’t grain at all, if u use it sonicwise…
