I've been a longtime (frustrated) TI user and I think I've discovered a workflow that bypasses a lot of the crashes, dropouts, weird behavior with the TI. I'm currently using a Snow in Ableton in Lion OSX. I previously owned a Desktop TI2 but became so agitated with the common issues everyone is going through. I decided to downgrade so that I wouldn't feel like I was wasting quite as much money but still could playback previous tracks I've written with the TI. I used to sequence using a lot of automation and would crash constantly - either live or the TI itself. Or I'd have timing issues with the arp.
That said, I recently discovered that Ableton clip automation coupled with the TI matrix is solid. I haven't had any issues in days. It takes a little more prep, but it's worth the effort as opposed to the issues I had with automation.
Can anyone else verify that this works for them?
RS232 lol...
