Using only presets for Pigments and other Arturia plug-ins, I embark on an ambient adventure and get started on a complete ambient track. There are also some thoughts on streamlining and the evolving studio configuration, as well as taming a MIDI issue of sorts with the Take 5\. Join in for the fun!

For best results, listen to this one in headphones (at least the music bits, anyway)!

[32:20](https://www.youtube.com/live/6x-dmKgl8xw?t=1940s&ref=gerenm.mymagic.page) ish. A bit of a detour to try to get a Take 5 internal sequence to start every time I hit play in Ableton Live
