I never hear anyone speak about it. What do you like about it? Hate about it?

+It's really powerful, fun to use and easy to integrate with controllers (same as FL in general)

-Doing the actual performance setup could be better streamlined (same as FL in general)

I've never used it, but I've seen some really cool videos of people using it. I'd also love to here from people who use it also to see what their take is on this not so talked about feature.

I never use it. I'm a hobbyist and don't do live shows so I'm not sure what use I'd have for it, maybe make a bunch of random patterns without listening to them together and then improvise with them? I'm pretty apathetic that it's there I guess, maybe slightly annoyed that we got that years before playlist time signatures, but mostly apathetic.

If I make a Region in Performance Mode, then is there a way to record into it? Like recording into Clips in Ableton Live? What I don't like about this is having to drag what I have recorded in the Playlist over to the Performance Panel. I just wanna be able to record into Regions and trigger it from there. Hope all this makes sense.

You mean recording live audio or just midi events?

In retrospect, I really really hate the amount of programming hours that were probably spent on it.
I have absolutely zero use for it though, so, I have a very biased opinion.

Midi Events. Honestly everything just gets into a big mess everytime i try to use it.

I can definitely see that happening. That's probably why I would rather use Live for those duties. Much neater. I think the trick with the FL Performance mode, might be to carefully set everything and then don't look at the screen while triggering patterns keeping in mind what is assigned to each key.

( btw are talking about the latest , 12? because it's a much better aspect now.
