Ollie, the software is surprisingly intuitive if you give it an hour or so. What I found helped a whole bunch was using the demo track, and isolated tracks and seeing what was done to create the sounds I was hearing. As far as using the product... it's possible to do something useful with it. The only problem with it is that it only has the stereo output, and the only way of syncing it to a computer based software is by pressing play at the right time. It can be utilized at making decent loops on the fly though.

So I've developed this fascination / infatuation with creating digital music, and am looking at putting together some gear. Only problem being that I am on quite a budget. I spent all my moneys on concerts and beer! So here's a list of the gear I would like to have in my dream set-up. Korg: MicroKorg (Synth with Vocoder) Korg: Kaoss Pad 3 (Sampler) Livid: OHM (Midi MCP that's works naively with VJing software and Abelton) Now questions I have 1. Anyone have a cheap MicroKorg? 2. Anyone know about DIY Midi Controllers, and what the price / performance difference would be between a homebrew device and something like the Livid Ohm 3. Based on the devices I'm looking at, can you think of similar devices that might be a little bit cheaper. 4. Any software other than ableton that can be suggested... what OS do you suggest P.S. For anyone who shares my interest I found this really cool software for the Nintendo Ds called KORG DS-10... which is amazing! I also found this awesome open source application called livid looper.

Was at Rothbury 2008... all I can say is fantastic atmosphere... but unsure if second year would have the same magic

Much better approach basher!

I saw it at tiff earlier this year. Agree with you that it was an interesting Cinematic endeavor... although I personally preferred part 2.

I'm not sure when they go on sale... but you can sign up for a reminder on the website!
