I can react quite well and change things on the fly, as it's all 4, 8, or 16 bar loops mixed together, not unlike many people do in Ableton. I've resisted pre-sequencing any more than that, even though it would probable make things far easier... That said, as lot of the time I stick to a vague plan, 'cos it works and there is a structure to it.

But the sound is a problem. I just love my boxes too much, if I could afford to I would painstakingly get and set up enough hardware to put compression/eq everywhere I needed it, different effects on different tracks and so on.

I think it works not to bad as I am still and acid techno stick in the mud though! lol
