To hell with that. This pattern based mentality is the reason I've lost interest in almost all dance music, intelligent or otherwise. It only makes any sense to me anymore when I'm pilled off my face. (When, admittedly, it makes a hell of a lot of sense) These days the only presequenced patterns I use live (and increasingly while recording) are drum patterns. Everything else I try to play live and I try to get as many heads doing this as possible, and as many fiucking with the signals with effects as possible. The results are very grateful dead gone wrong, but in a live capacity it can work with a lot of practice, because people don't expect perfection. Shut up hew.
