We’ve had ‘3 synth techno’ and ‘minimal viable EMOM’ setup threads and so I thought we should go for the deadly duo techno setup. I always hear that a 909 and a 303 is enough to rock the room, so what is your version of this classic? What is your chosen weapons?
Since I imagine the OT will dominate, maybe we should have 2 versions, with and without the OT.
MPC X and Akai Force.
Very minimal feature sets.
Nice, almost as minimal as Abelton on a laptop with Bitwig on a desktop, syncing them with a well timed tandem click on play of course
Currently using RYTM and OCTA in a rack case. id use more, but with a couple send effects taking up the rest of the OCTA inputs, its actually not possible to run anything else through.
Works well though, forces me to squeeze everything i can out of the two
You know you can say the same about hardware synths vs VSTs.
OT and Nord Lead 3 Rack.
4 outs into 4 ins. Fx, mixing, sequencing, MIDI LFOs, samples, looping.
Powerful combo.
OT
Pērkons
or
DN
Pērkons
Syntakt and Quadrantid Swarm will be mine if I ever sit down and actually start doing it.
OT and Minikorg 700fs
I read on another thread here that techno was simple music any ways.
Rytm + OT / Rytm + DN
I’d really want a 3 synth setup though and have something like
Rytm + OT + PERfourMER
I have already used in the past the Machinedrum sps1 mk2 along with a Blofeld, but I’m lining towards nowdays more to something like a Nord microModular and a Monologue?
I would say those two together can make a killing techno team 
*Watch also out for a combo like the Microfreak and Monotribe / always a big fan of small setups
DT+DN
ST+DN
ST+DT
A4+AR
TR-8S+Waldorf M
TR-8S+Insert 303 of choice here…
OT + Virus
Perkons + Digitakt
It would contain all that’s needed really. Main out and one seperate voice into digitakt. And go
Erica Techno System (changed half of it tho)
Norand Mono
Thats actally all gear I still have, sold RYTM and OT this year x)
TR8-S + a synth
OT + a synth
Or TR8-S + OT
The problem with all of the above is my interpretation of the word synth… none of them are 2 synth set ups.
I’m gonna throw down some Arturia on yo asses…
MiniBrute 2S and DrumBrute Impact.
