My setup for playing live

Yo.

Just wanted to show you guys a picture of my setup for my one band.

2x Kaoss pad Kp3's

MPC 1000 with jjos

Roland RH 200 headphones ( they got stolen

)

and most importantly, the mighty SP 404

With my other band/thing, I'm minus the mpc, and I use a zoom drum machine and a mixer to run everything through.

Peace

Nice and simple setup.

How do you fill up the MPC and 404? Do you make your own samples?

I find myself more and more recording synths to SP 555 as you don't have to worry about MIDI sync... DI boxes, outboard FX, volume levels...

I hope this is the future because I'm going this way too, though I have no tendencies to perfom outside my house.
Okay, maybe when I'm 50 y/o and someone wants to hire a live performer on a wedding aniversary... can you imagine our generation
in 20-30 years... what kind if music we will listen than?
And kids will go like: nah, I'm not going on this folk-techno party- far out dad.

Cheers, Crumb

Most of the time, I'll make stuff in Acid along with my 404, Yamaha Su10, drum machine etc. etc. Then I have the tracks in the computer and can mix them and add effects or whatever.

Then I usually cut the songs into loops, and trigger them live off of the samplers. I sometimes have bits of songs on both machines so that I can layer, and mix it all up.

I use the one kaoss pad to add effects to the beats, and the other is for the mic, so we can do live looping, add effects to the vox, or whatever we want.

Peace

Drewzle that ish looks so dope! I don't even know what half of your gear is...

drewzle · Post by **drewzle** » Mon Nov 17, 2008 9:46 pm

cheers man

the gear is: 2 Yamaha QY-70s (those grey boxes), a Zoom 505 Guitar Pedal (with patch B3 on the LED screen), a Roland MC09 (in the left corner with patch U03 on screen), a padKontrol and the beautiful Sp404!
plus the little mixer so they can all talk at the same time

the QY70s can have up to 24 voices each coming out of them, i use one in Pattern Mode to control another in Song Mode so i can perform MIDI tweaks from the padKontrol

Fauna - i'm a big fan of the SH-32, that's a great stand you have for it there. two-storey noise maker!

ha ha! yeah, it's a plastic rack for raising yr laptop, courtesy of my employer (shh!).

i love the sounds the sh-32 can produce, but just using it without a controller - those little buttons-for-keys are tricky, esp while playing other instruments at the same time. but i started using it 'as is' cuz of seeing a friend of mine do so in a glitchy-folk group. figgered if he can use it so can i. i'm half-right :lol:
