I came to really like the hardware controller integrated clip launcher functionality on music software a few years ago while playing around with Launchpad and Ableton Live. However I didn’t finish a single song properly until I got myself comfortable laying parts in traditional timeline style sequencer with mouse and keyboard. Now after finishing a bunch of tracks I’m testing different hardware controls. For me hardware controllers (and synth’s) aren’t only inspiring, but they can speed up workflow and can help with mousearm related problems.
