I was just in doubt to give the techno template a try on my MKI, not being sure if it would work properly! Thanks!
This is my current setup. I’ve bought and sold a lot of gear since the beginning of lockdown but this kit has stayed.
Stuff I bought and sold:
Roland TR8s
Roland TR6s
Eowave Quadrantid Swarm
1010 Music Blackbox
1010 Music Bluebox
Waldorf Blofeld
Elektron Syntakt
Arturia Keystep Pro
Moog Mother 32
Moog DFAM
Moog Subharmonicon
Moog Minitaur
Stuff I still have but might sell:
Access Virus Ti2
Elektron Digitakt
At this moment smaller than ever…
Had to open my MacBook once to assign a source track to a gate (cannot wait for Ableton to add the assign feature that they already added to compressor to everything else that needs it).
Perfect setup for some music making in out camper!
Mostly experimenting with my Moog Studio setup at this time. It is connected through Bitwig Studio along with a Vermona DRM1 MKIV and Waldorf M. Overall, lots of fun.
Always love pics of your space!
Here’s where I record. Im making quick groovy techno. Was mpc1000 and Digitone for a while, but digitakt is working better for my sound and the Nord is more playable and routable than DN for me.
Mini holiday setup I took with me recently, small but mighty.
TR09, Doepfer Dark Time & Cwejman SM-1
really liked the video, I have a question, before you record, do you monitor everything through ableton with the fx added during the “jam” process or do you monitor directly from audio interface and add them later?
I monitor through ableton, (hardware) FX are on sends so only printed when I print the master, unless I record them in a separate track but I can hear them while I jam. I usually consider FX as part of the sound.
thanks for the info!
Octatrack Mk2 serves as mixer (2 mono inputs + 1 stereo input) / live re-sampler
MAIN OT OUT into FMR RNC for limiting
FMR RNC OUT into Analog Heat Mk2 for saturation, EQ, dirt, Env follower
My current setup, using all 4 channels of the Xone 42: Octatrack main and cue out in channels 1 and 2, Syntakt into channel 3 and Digitakt into channel 4.
I mainly mix between devices like a dj set but often build improvised combos of patterns on all devices. Octatrack has a lot of loops and stems from my Ableton projects!
Trying to simplify things a lot to reignite my trying to play live in my city, I just bought a Digitakt that I’m going to couple with my Octatrack for a pure sample based setup: Loops and stems in the OT, Drums and one shots in the DT, everything coming from my DAW projects, transitions using the OT as a looper, recreating patterns as much as possible instead of just playing loops, finally learn how to use the crossfader to its true power, thus getting super playable versions of my tracks. Might add a synth later (Typhon in fact) but right now I will be focused on making this simple version work on its own.
I have this fantasy of having only these two in front of me as a clean simple setup that I now how to use very well.
At the moment, I’m having joy with just limiting myself to Koala Sampler! I’ve always mentally pigeon holes it as an amazing tool for making hip hop beats, but with the mixer section and bus effects added, you can totally make great techno inside the app.
I played a mate a sketch I had been working on, and he is so anal/critical about what ‘is a good kick’, and he was praising the kick! It was achieved with liberal use of Koala’s drive effect and resampling…
What Eurorack case are you using
hahaha. it started out as a 24 hp Synthrotek Eco Skiff but i needed one more hp so i just took the cheeks off. and note power module behind it
thought i had it all …now it’s down to LXR-02 and Bitbox and no regrets.
