Similar concept using Daft Punk samples instead: http://readonlymemories.com/ plus some filtering and looping capability.

#42A more appropriate title would be: Get started triggering samples. Making music is really something different IMO.
Oh so you're familiar with EDM?

#43Related, this is trending on reddit this morning. Just fascinating to watch someone build a catchy track up on such a (apparently) basic piece of equipment... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FK5cU9qWRg0
What's especially impressive is that the OP-1 has only four tracks, and only does destructive recording with no undo. Meaning that if you want more than four instruments, you have to overdub the same track, and any mistake will ruin the current loop.
In other words, you really need to know what you're doing and have a really good idea of what you want to play to be able to make a song as elaborate as this.

#44Ableton Live is my main daw. I use it every day, generally for hours, and for a wide variety of purposes. The most depressing thing about ableton is made obvious in two seconds of messing with that tutorial. A complete disregard for music in the sense of pushing boundaries of time, or doing things that are not tied to any sort of grid, and the sense of music as an emotive form. So many aspects of music are very annoy…
Music is made in your head, the DAW is just a tool to get it out. You can turn off grid snapping and use samples the way you like and many more creative methods to do whatever you please.
> So many aspects of music are very annoying or borderline impossible to do in ableton.
Like what? Scoring music? How about using a proper tool then? Nobody complains that they can't write hardware drivers in PHP.
My DAW is Reason and because it sucks in making mixtapes I got Ableton too because it's superior in that use case.

#46Wow, this looks great. Is there an app for this? I'd love for my son to try.
Check out Auxy for iPhone for a really simple way to get started with sequencers.

#47As someone who has no musical talent whatsoever, I'm oddly intrigued by Ableton's products. I've occasionally stumbled across the Push[0] and been fascinated by it as an input device. This site is another thing to add to my Intriguing Stuff list. [0] https://www.ableton.com/en/push/
I have a Push (v1) and it's a lot of fun. The whole idea is to pull out the functionality from Ableton onto a tactile device, and I think it succeeds in doing so. When I play with it, I stash my laptop to the side beecause you don't really need to stay glued to the screen while working with it.
Beyond its utility, it's a really beautiful device.

There's space for all kinds of music, and for some, triggered samples under a grid is considered music.

I'm not an artistic musician, but it feels really satisfying to make something that is my own, even if musically it's really simple. Your comment is nothing but unnecessarily elitist.

#50Love it. Great web app from a really good company. I use Ableton a lot and I'm continually impressed with their software and content marketing activity.
