What’s your background with drumming/percussion?

I totally understand the portability appeal. Just to having something for that extra 15 minutes at work with nothing to do and ideas flowing.

Yeah, there it is. I keep a folder in iCloud to sync samples but drag and drop sounds ideal.

I have it loaded on my iPad but have never taken the time to dive in. It was good to fully get my hands dirty editing samples and tweaking the sound to what I like and not just loading the .wav on a pad and calling it a day.

How are you managing loading samples back and forth from your main computer to your Koala app?

Genuine question as someone who has not used a TE product, what is it that you like about it and the TE workflow? I just struggle with TE feeling like a design brand who happens to make instruments, but can’t deny the appeal of the Pocket Operators?

At the same, does “painting our selfs into a corner” loose having true ending to stories?

Constraints and limitations drive creativity, but you have accept a final product at some point and move to another universe/story.

Can I ask how do record each part individually and then layer everything and if so how do you normally work through it all in your head?

So far just have the software version. Told myself I needed to master the software and navigating the hardware before buying the standalone Maschine+.

For perspective, I’m barely over “what even is a splice, I just want to play clips” level of Maschine understanding.

So it is 100% me and not knowing how to sequence it with the Beatstep. I moved it to the office and hooked it up to Maschine. Ran some midi clips through and it sounded fantastic.

Having it plugged into a PC, the built in tuners are a godsend as well.

I think the issue is I just haven’t figured out how to interact with it yet. I won’t fault the instrument.
