Got myself something for Black Friday + Christmas… Back in 2009, I fell in love with step sequencers. But the simple hardware and web browser ones that I could afford at the time were way too limited. So I made an iPad app (Koushion, now defunct) that fit my style.

Then Ableton released the Push not long after. I couldn’t afford one but I loved the idea.

Fast forward to this year, and I’ve been too busy to make music for almost a decade. But Ableton had a sale I couldn’t resist. No regrets 😍
