01:03:05 Actually the jomox alpha base can do that- you can change the "drum kit", but keep the same trigs in place

Great stuff - wonderful sounds and generous with your time to explain your processes. For reference spatial is pronounced spay-shall (like special but with `ay` sound instead of `eh`)

​@@benpest6931great stuff this talk, I've been watching it as my bedtime story for the past two weeks --- am struggling with making my live perfirmance work. one question that has been passed in silence, unfortunately, so if you still read yt notifications and don't mind wasting your time typing an answer.. How do you handle transitions between tracks? well, or should I call this groups of patterns. Do you plan consequent tracks to have main elements on different synths, so that you can blend the new one with the mixer? or do you use octatrack's record buffers to go from a loop of the old track into a new one? something else? Much obliged if you have some insight about it to share!

I love his live mixing philosophy: “Embrace the randomness!”
