Thanks all — super helpful points.
To clarify my setup/goals:
Sequencing = Digitakt II + Bloom v1
Digitakt usually master clock but also use Ableton for studio stuff
Goal = IDM/acid performance rig
Want: Atlantix + 1 extra voice(CS-L, sounds so amazing), modular percussion accents, hands-on modulation
Totally hear you on utilities / “plumbing” — that’s what I’m focusing on dialing in:
Buffered mults for pitch
Attenuverters/offsets
VCAs for modulating the modulation
Small sub-mixers + performance mixer
Clean clock + reset routing
Mutes + FX send/return
Drums plan = Digitakt as backbone + modular glitch layer
Leaning toward Modbap Trinity 2.0 for playable modular percussion — if anyone’s used it in a Digitakt setup, curious how it felt.
If you have favorite utility chains / patch habits for performance (think Autechre-ish movement without chaos), I'd love to hear them.
