i thought i responded already about that exile one but word i tried flipping that before awhileeee ago and failed, was trying to get the quality of production is so vital or whatever quote from it as a hookish area lol. but word good looking out. ima mess with it heavy this weekend so i'll check those

the hour or so i played with it, it was AIGHT. its FL studio lol. the only cool thing is its just mapped to everything out of the box. the pads are smaller than computer keyboard keys. which is meh. but i mean its not like you can't play shit out on it, drawing out the sequences is whatever as well. just like clicking boxes with the keys but you got a pad.

it would work better for performance aspects i think. like make a beat the normal way with FL, and then you can use the controller to get busy live with mutes and drum changes and filters and shit on the fly, going between patterns etc. so it might be easier to maybe sequence out a beat live instead of copying patterns for minor changes and shit.

but yea the main plus that i'll actually use it for is samples where im not timestretching i figured how to use the FL slicer finally after a decade and use it like the mpc's autoregion/chop function, for more live sample arrangement type stuff. since the chops get mapped automatically to the pads and all 64 of them are right there to play with arrangements. but 90 percent im chopping and stretching and clicking anyways

so yea this will just be another holdover until i finally go full native instruments. i just want an rtx 2080 ti first but i can't justify anything at the moment lol. but word i'll eventually maschine/kontrol/komplete it out and throw everything else in the closet

also the fire edition of FL seems like FL just without the bloat of all of FL's terrible plugin instruments. i didn't get to mixing anything yet but i assume the fl compressor and eq etc are all there but all the other mixing plugins i never used anyways probably aint in it.

also i looked to upgrade FL to the full FL because i assumed dropping 200 on this paperweight would considerably knockout alot of money towards the upgrade, and its still 810 dollars more for the full version of FL wtf. no wonder that shit gets pirated. i never bought it when i thought it was 200 this whole time haha
