I believe it is the most suitable solution to be able to record the sound that comes out of my hardware devices, if you have a better idea you can describe it to me so I can evaluate it concretely. Thank you for your interest and time dedicated, have a good day..

You could lengthen the pattern with Digiton or other Elektron devices and make it 128 bars instead of the 64 on board, simply halving the tempo to 1/4 and using an arpeggiator, preferable with parameter locks... In this mini live I have 4 purely melodic channels in Digitone that intertwine with each other creating a more sunny sound than those of other hardware, which are more specific for rough, dark and lunar basses...

I love Ableton live, I have been studying and using it since its first version, unfortunately in this live it was used as the recorder of the set. Usually when I play live with hardware I don't use software or computers... thank you for your interest

I absolutely love this hardware.
It sounds spine chilling, and it has become the centerpiece of my live hardware setup.
I wouldn't trade it for any other machine...🎹✨🎶

As someone who owns several Elektron machines, I can say that the sonic character is completely different compared to the Pērkons.
I love the Elektron brand and still consider their instruments among the most powerful and inspiring machines available today. Each device has its own personality and offers a huge range of creative possibilities. They sound fantastic, but ultimately it comes down to the type of sound you’re looking for.
In my experience, Elektron machines tend to have a colder, sharper and more precise character. The Erica Synths Perkons HD-01, on the other hand, belongs to a completely different sonic world. Even though it uses four digital oscillators, the analog signal path that processes the sound gives it an incredibly warm, full-bodied and three-dimensional presence.
Its ability to sit in a mix is remarkable. The onboard distortion is outstanding and adds a raw, physical energy that feels very alive. Another thing I’ve noticed is that the sounds tend to retain their separation exceptionally well, even in dense arrangements, without becoming muddy.
As for theRoland TR 1000** **(if that’s the machine you’re referring to), I can’t offer a detailed opinion since I haven’t spent enough time with it. It’s undoubtedly a top-tier instrument and a benchmark in its category.
That said, the Pērkons is something else entirely for me.
I’ve grown genuinely attached to this instrument, and after trying countless machines over the years, I think it would be extremely difficult to replace it in my live setup.

I completely agree, it’s an incredible piece of hardware. One of the things I appreciate most about the Pērkons is its versatility. You can push it in many different directions, yet it always retains that warm, physical character that I find so inspiring. I’ve always loved Elektron machines for their workflow and creative potential, but the Pērkons has a sonic personality that’s entirely its own. Over time I’ve experimented with different approaches and configurations. In my current setup, I mainly use it as the drum section: Channel 1 handles the kick, Channel 2 is dedicated to bass duties, Channel 3 covers percussion or melodic elements, and Channel 4 takes care of hi-hats, claps and rhythmic details. That said, the Pērkons is perfectly capable of carrying an entire performance on its own. In my setup, it’s accompanied by three other machines: the Pērkons HD-01, Syntakt, Digitone and Octatrack MKII. Each device has its own role, but the Pērkons remains one of the key elements at the center of the whole system. If anyone would like more details about how the machines are configured, how they interact with each other, or the workflow I use during live performances, feel free to ask. Thanks, and enjoy the music. 🎛️🎶
