Live 4 is better than any midi sequencer because it is so easy to assign any midi foot pedal to trig a midi clip in Live (that tells your EDP what to do with your resent audio input). Myself I'm thinking about using it to "perforate" a loop with short quantized SUS-inserts of a very percussive character. Different patterns that are too fast to tap in real-time with one foot. You might be able to create a "drum beat" in just two overdubs: First play one long low note (kick drum frequency) and then press the pedal for "launch Live midi clip for EDP SUS-insert "hihat-ish pattern") and play a long note in a high register. > One of the benefits of this is that you don't have to have the EDP sync > to Live's clock Yes, you can of course run Live 4 synced to the EDP. It will follow any HalfSpeed or Multiply-Record action through the tempo changes. All the best Per Boysen --- http://www.boysen.se http://www.looproom.com
