![]() This workflow also means you can utilize the hardware sequencer in a live scenario, programming additional improvised rhythms over the top of your clips coming from Ableton Live, without destructively editing your carefully programmed clips. Having your core drum loops programmed into clips in Live means you have those rhythms on hand at all times, and (in my opinion) it makes sense to have these all housed in one place rather than spread across software and hardware. Fair question! Creating custom drum racks to sequence a machine that already has an on board sequencer can be a more cohesive workflow and opens the door to some interesting possibilities - particularly for live performance. The question came up of why I had my drum machine connected to the Push when it already has a sequencer. In my ‘ Push New Ideas’ presentation, I demo’d a performance setup using Ableton’s Push controller, that was controlling external hardware synths and drum machines (see video below). In early September, the Noisegate team went to the BIGSOUND festival/conference in Brisbane to host music-making workshops with Ableton Live.
