@FreakyFwoof Thanks for inspiring me to do some stuff with #AbletonNote myself today. I have a few things I've done with it, and am trying to work on building them into something a little more complete. Did you just have your scenes in order on that and then just export, or did you do something different with it?
I'm giving a talk at the upcoming DM Lab in-person and online event run by Drake Music - Imagining the Future.

Today I wanted to try to make some kind of #Reggae thing with #AbletonNote. It's difficult as it has no dotted or swing quantise options, so I just made something straight instead. Still, I think it's pretty funky never the less. Audio attached.
You can mess with the live set for yourself if you like: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vvi32von651ktua/Reggableton.ablbundle?dl=1
Glad to see that #AbletonNote is making the rounds across various socials, lots of VI peoples have gotten in-touch to tell me how it's sparked some fun creativity, so happy to hear that. Here's the loop I ended my video with:
I can say without reservation that #AbletonNote is one of the more compelling and exciting #iOS music-making apps I have ever used. Never could get into #Garageband, #Thumbjam was OK but could never work out how to sequence with it, but this has surpassed #KorgiKaossilator which I absolutely loved, and I thought that nothing would ever pass that for me. This has finally done it, and with the most recent update to the Appstore version, you can perhaps see why I love this thing.
Version 1.0.10, 2d ago, This Ableton Note update brings some exciting new features: Added support for MIDI input. You can now use external MIDI devices (wired and Bluetooth) with Note. Simply select the MIDI device using the new MIDI Input menu in Note’s App Settings. Then choose a track in Note and start playing. Note can also accept MIDI input from iOS apps that output MIDI.
