How are the Drolo boxes, I was interested in the Stretch Weaver but seems to crossover pretty heavily with Chase Bliss Mood?

See Katie Gately profile on Ableton, she has a very cool two desk setup.

The drolo boxes are my main instruments. I could replace any other instruments but they are the most fun and hands on. They feel good too.
There is no real overlap between the mood and the stretch weaver. the weaver can’t sample and the mood can’t side chain.
the weaver is special coz it can do do many different things with side chains.
imagine taking the output of the mood, feeding it to the weaver and stretching it again with a kick drum.
It glitches easily but you can do also subtle modulations.
First I didn’t use the weaver much but now its on every session.
But my favorite by far is the molecular disruptor. its just crazy what it can do to your sounds. its sample rate is not stepped like on the mood and gives you another dimension to play with.

Yoooooo! Fellow M8!?!? You on the discord?

I had been using the script with my OP-1 which I’ve since gotten rid of. Might have been a relationship between the two. I will check on other equipment with better midi implementation when I get a chance.

(How fucking dope is the M8??)

I am late to the M8 party, but incredibly intrigued, the first run is sold out, I’m assuming…?

Yeah, he did an initial run of 100 that are all sold. Planning for more in the coming months.

Moved out of London recently to try countryside living - the benefit besides the obvious is that I actually have a dedicated music space as opposed to a one bed flat with a living-dining-kitchen-studio room.

Just wondering what you’re using the push controller for? Is there a computer under the desk?! Looks like it’s being used in standalone (non-Live) mode?

My satori (insight) during current weekend:
it’a no matter how big is your studio corner if you can be in the corner alone.

I understand that if you have about 40 minutes just to concentrate and only after this -
composing tracks - it works for me. If you play near noisy fridge sources- its almost impossible.
All music time goes to playing 70s solos on guitars or another drone on modular.

Sources that can ruin concentration: family members excluding pets ( only late night time is good for composing), any job items (like macbook with slack/mail), playstation, and books. (Ive read about 7-9 books during last 3 months during evening time instead of music time)

There is a laptop on a tabletop standing desk type thing to the right of the photo. I use the Push for normal Push things, but I try to use it as much as possible to control Ableton without needing to look at the computer. It’s trial and error so far but it’s forced me to become much more fluent with the Push. I still wind up using the laptop for fx stuff that I can do more quickly by clicking around, as well as assigning stuff on the MFT. The goal is really to, as much as possible, eliminate the visual and focus-related distractions of Ableton and everything else the computer does, without needing to eliminate the convenient and money saving stuff I can accomplish there. I think it just looks like it’s in standalone mode because it holds the logo screen when Ableton isn’t running (I don’t think this is normal behavior… might be because it’s plugged into a powered usb hub?).

Maybe also for another thread but :upside_down_face: – how are you finding the Sinfonion?

It’s a joy to use and very much the musical glue I was missing for composition. Its pricey and I sold an Access Virus to fund it and have no have regrets about that. I had the Harmonaig for quite a while for my chords, but this is really another level… the internal sequencer is a nice bonus too.
