      The way I use it is more of a sound design tool, although it could use more LFO's or mod destinations. Performance mode is great, but the pads on the mk1 are really stiff though, so I don't use those as often as I would want to.

    There is always something to be admired about Musician’s who push to get blow and beyond the front panel of this synthesizer. After over 40 years, I’m glad to know that people are still trying to create their own patches on it, even though the main reason I never bought one for me was that I was nervous I would be stuck with the classic 32 presets. As the owner of a Roland JX-8p, whose shape, size and interface are all modeled after the DX7, despite it being an analog synthesizer instead of a digital, I understand what you’re saying about this one being heavy. This may come as no consolation, but imagine if it was the DX7’s precursor, the GS1. Apart from not being programmable from the front panel, the GS1 was built like a Yamaha CP80.

    Latency was the main reason i left Ableton Live. I was really sick of it. Between all those DAW alternatives i decided to give a try on Reaper and i was amazed that it can do everything that every major DAW's do, it is fast, light on CPU, really really flexible and adjustable, it have major community support, many many of good freebies and it doesn't have that really annoying latency problem no matter how many heavy plugins you put on a track and i use the default DAW settings. I'm still on Reaper DAW ever since.

    I'd say you can even make it easier: there are only 2 categories of modules. 1) signal generators 2) signal modifiers All signal generators could be considered modulators (after all, you can use ANY signal as CV if you so wish). Traditionally though, if a signal generator outputs a signal that oscillates more than 20 times a second (so, above 20 Hz) you've got an audio generator (oscillators, noise generators..). Slower than that? Then you've got a CV generator (low frequency oscillators, envelope generators, clock generators..). The two can overlap of course, if a module provides you with a wide enough frequency range. Signal modifiers may also cover both the world of audio and the world of CV at the same time, but traditionally they are also called in different ways depending on the signals they deal with. If they transform audio signals (specifically, if they change the timbre of the signal) then you may know them as audio modifiers or simply audio effects (stuff like filters, wavefolders, distortions, echo, reverb..) whilst in all other cases they are usually labeled as utilities (amplifiers, attenuators, mixers, multiples, slew limiters, sample & hold, comparators, clock dividers..). Gotta say though, nice video dude! Yep, if we boil it down it really is that simple, enough to narrow it down to just 4 or 3 (or hey, even 2) types of modules. Then as you learn more you can dig down and learn about all the various types of modules there are and what they do, but at the end of the day a module either: 1) makes a signal, or 2) changes a signal And that's part of the beauty of synthesis I think. That from something so simple we can get something so interesting and complex.

      @@CatFish107 VCAs would be in the "utility" category =) They don't generate any signal on their own, so they're not audio generators nor modulators. They don't change the timbre of an audio signal going through them (well, you can push some of them to do that, but it's not their intended purpose), so they are not effects. By a process of elimination, we can say they are utilities 👍

      @@optoproductions delay compensation never worked, at least not as expected. Here is what I mean: Put a latency heavy plugin on a track & put LFO tool, shaperbox or any other time linked plugin after it, said plugin is not in sync with the project. This is because ableton is the only DAW which compensates delay per track, not per plugin. While this makes sense in a live performance setting as the overall latency will be lowest, in a production setting, this gets annoying quickly. I've always believed for ableton it should be togglable to choose between per plugin & per track compensation and I was hoping that this was that too...
