Hi everyone!
I’ve been an OT user for quite a few years now, and I’ve recently added an A4 to my setup, hoping to use just these two pieces for composing / live performance.
I’m on the fence about something though: sequencing the Analog Four from the OT or using it’s own sequencer.
I have to say, I got so used to using the OT alone with it’s MIDI tracks (sequencing synths in an iPad) that using two separate sequencers feels a bit uncofortable at times.
my pros and cons pf sequencing with the OT:
Pros: sequencing from a single machine, per-track multipliers (I use this way more than I thought), easier to mute A4 tracks (from mixer / quick mute mode)
Cons: less control over the sound (parameter locks, accents), I can’t keep the A4 sound going while I switch patterns (wich I’m still not sure if I want or not - although tempting, I don’t know how much it would bother me to change patterns on both machines individually when playing live - it might end up making transitions too long…)
what are your experiences?
