That entirely depends on how you make music, for you and undoubtedly a lot of others the whole push / machine / apc thing is where its at and you want an optimised workflow based around that paradigm. For others a button-grid based preset-browser is neither here nor there.skatr2 wrote:A controller does the job but you spend more time getting it to work with Ableton than actually making music. Even the apc didn't meet production needs out the box. We had to wait and hope until someone tore apart the script to make it more functional.
Obviously the pain were experiencing is that existing workflows are being made to pay the price to support other flows that were not interested in, to continue my colloquialism theme its 'giving with one hand and taking with the other'
