This is interesting, I think. I'm asuming for the moment that "trademark 
ableton FX" here counts as a negative point. I see what you mean too; if 
you hear the same effects all the time then you will get tirered of 
them. I too generally prefer listening to people's home-build unique 
effects and instruments but this case is interesting since Henke 
programed the Ableton effects himself.

Would this count against a open source, sharing, additude towards 
homebuild instruments? Of cource it wouldn't have changed his set as 
such but it would aparently have changed the preceived uniqueness of 
some sides of it; as far as I know the Live effects started their life 
as MAX/MSP patches on Henke's computer.

I'm not voicing a opinion here, I didn't hear this set, and I admit I'm 
making a few asumptions about your experience of it here but the 
phenomenon seems interesting.

Yours,
Kas.
