Live 5 is out

[g]

the old abelton arguement again ehhhhhhhh

Stating a fact actually.

You've either used it both ways or not.

exactly.

...i find it its approach to linear, i suppose more interesting solutions will come when more involving interfaces are c=reated on which the performer can actually play live for real.

no offense, but you don't know the app very well.

it's extremely non-linear. it's non-linearity is probably the single greatest thing about it. i've been using it since version 1.5 and it has *completely* changed the way i think about music production. i now get hives if i look at a traditional, time-based sequencer.

and even since version 1, if you dig into what it offers in a live performance situation it's arguably the most "live" you can get.
