Hi everyone,
Question on Ableton and Elektron boxes - not “which is better” but how terms/functions translate between these very different worlds. I am taking a Live Performance class in Berlin and the course is Ableton focused. I perform live with Elektron and modular hardware (no computer) so am translating the course concepts into my workflow. I am NOT trying to replicate functionality here but to best make use of the DAW- based techniques I am learning in a hardware based performance. Below is how I understand the rough translation. Curious if this make sense or others have different ideas.
Ableton --> Octatrack
Clip --> Track Pattern or sample
Scene --> Part
Ordered group of scenes --> Arrangement
Instrument/FX rack --> Scene
Drum rack --> Part (sort of?)
Ableton --> Analog Rytm
Clip --> Track Pattern
Scene --> Patterns
Ordered group of scenes --> Chains + Song
Instrument/FX rack with variable parameters --> Performance pad
Instrument/FX rack with fixed parameters --> Scene
Drum rack --> Kit
