If you have one of these laying around, or can find one cheap, then you have a great Midi Controller for Ableton. I used to use one of these with an MPC to get some cool effects. It didn’t really have any gain control in or out so it could sound great or really terrible depending on the source sound. After things started to really sound good in the box and computers got faster it sat on the shelf for a number of years just blinking and looking like all Christmas like. Now it’s back just acting as Midi Controller for Ableton and it’s unique “Momentary” button is really cool for effects like Beat Repeat, where you might want to just engage quickly and then bypass it quickly. You can also use the blinking Tap Tempo button as your Tap Tempo for Ableton and send the midi clock to it so it’s in sync. Serves it’s purpose better now than originally intended. Cool piece, thought I’d mention.
