It's Monday, and here's another Live Stream from the Disaster Room.

There's been a little rearrangement in the studio again, in preparation for the incoming multi/poly and the addition of the second long table for The Playpen. Hot on the heals of last week's bombshell proclimation, let's dig into two of the web's latest hotly contested music products. Because, why not, right? And, where is that darned multy/poly, anyway? Plus, we can revisit the Polybrute/Muse debate -- for a minute or two, [‪@synthseeker‬](https://www.youtube.com/@synthseeker?ref=gerenm.mymagic.page). And, we'll look at using internal or VST effects with external instruments in Ableton Live.
