Yes. It's a question of what the performer is willing to do. If you build up a bank of samples to use in Ableton, how live and intricate it can depend on what level of detail you go to. For example, you could have 50 samples, each of which contained ALL the audio you need at any one time. Or you could have 500 samples, containing only the elements of each part e.g. only the hi-hat pattern, or only a vocal sample pattern....which would then form the part of an infinitely interchangeable matrix.
