After this sort of workshop public performance, I will have to think of redundancy when the show really starts to tour this summer. It's all still in the developmental stage which is why I can afford to experiment with the bcr2000 and midi control of Ableton.

oh yes. Twice in one show. Another time both mine and another band member's crashed simultaneously, mid set! Good thing we've got some old fashioned instruments too. That's v8.
But to be fair I think a lot of it has to do with what plugins you use. VST is a poor standard implemented in different ways by different vendors, and some of the plugins out there are definitely a bit dodgy.
