That's sort of what I'm talking about. Almost every time I've worked with MIDI hardware (this is usually stuff that's ~20 years old) and ableton, once I hit a certain amount of tracks and cc automation, the synth starts to choke up and (at least) the tempo gets thrown off. This is of course annoying, but I've been able to exploit it in a glitchy Oval-ian sort of way. Some synths do voicestealing, unpredictable parameter movements and tempo fluctuations - others will fully freeze and just got stuck on a note. The former can produce a nice and unpredictable result. Anyways, I've never encountered anyone talking about doing this and I dedicated my 20s to recording interviews with electronic musicians. So just curious if anyone else had encountered what I'm talking about. Surely the results aren't that different from other methods derived from VSTs or parameter automation but still - interesting stuff if you're into that sort of thing.
