Your Setups (Part 1)

Ugh, how many times I’ve been in that situation. :expressionless:
Had to sell my _____ to stay above water.

It sucks but at the same time puts things into perspective.
I still feel like I’ve got more than I need hehehe.

Every device in my setup is incredibly deep and I’ve nowhere near mastered any of them yet.

I remember watching outside my kitchen window and seeing my friend carry the Minikorg to his car with an incredibly annoying smirk on his face. That was very agonizing. :rofl:

LOL, was it raining, too? And did you call out to it and it faintly lit up for a moment? :rofl:

Just kidding bro, I feel you - it’s just that “watching from the kitchen window” and he’s smirking that set off my imagination…

Hahaha. :rofl:

I did call out to it, quietly lol.

oh jeez…
:cry: I’m honestly getting some feels…it’s raining right now over here.

And honestly, I think if my Korg Radias or Yamaha RS7000 were ever hauled off by someone, I’d have quite a moment…15+ years and gigs across the globe with those 2.

I will be able to visit it at any time so it’s all good. :slight_smile:

Sounds like you have a strong bond with your synths which of course is very understandable after all that time and all those experiences. Better keep those forever I reckon.

ATM only the Syntrx, MnM, Verde mixer and Tascam 244 feel like I could never sell them, as much as I love all of my synths.

I’m very into your “command station” type wrap-around desk.
I’m pretty sold on that way of working, myself.
It allows for not having to turn a full 90-degrees away from your monitors, which can be disorienting.

Do you have a channel I can subscribe to? I’d love to see some sounds.

Not quite set up yet , but I got into samples this past couple months pretty heavily, and the sp404 is just too limiting to do arranging as a sequencer. Plus, I’ve seen some bangers from Spinscott and Fred Again with the stand alone version.

Super dope, love all the woodwork and plants to balance out the tech.

Not really, no. I have made very few videos involving my own stuff. After years of doing video tutorials and demonstrations as part of my day job, I find it very difficult to muster up the desire to do them for “fun”. Here’s one using the Moog Model 10 samples I made for the Tracker:

Model 12 update: man this thing rules. Sounds great, dead quiet. One knob compressors per channel are actually quite useful. Some of the fx (like pingpong delay) are pretty decent. Next need to get it set up in Ableton.

Out of curiosity, what three pieces of kit will the Model 12 be replacing in your setup, should it pass the test?

Mixer (obviously) as well as 10in/12out DAW interface and midi controller.

of course, its possible to reach every piece of gear without leaving the sweet spot, that much. Besides, annoying encounters with the table legs are history. :grinning:

@taiman
I made it, like nearly everything, out of OSB (12mm frontplate, 18mm frame). They are filled with 10cm - 20cm Rockwoll. Behind the frontplate, there is one layer of black Molton to cover the wool.
The holes may be 17mm or 19mm, I dont remember. There is no big math behind that decision. I didnt want to disort the absorption properties too much, so I chose a relativly big diameter. It was a hell of work :smiley:

Did a similar thing a few days ago and got rid of my Behringer Mixer (QX 2442) and my audiointerface (UR 22 MK2). I’m still trying to find the best audio routing to the Zoom L-12 with its 8 mono and 2 stereo inputs. Maybe I have to upgrade to the L-20 later, to get every soundsource to my DAW with its own channel, but it works quiet nice at the moment. I’m using the Octatrack as master clock and performance mixer, looper and effects machine (thanks @ ezbot) for Digitakt <- Perkons on A/B and Digitone <- Peak on C/D feeding into one stereo channel on the L-12. The other stereo channel is used as return for Doctor A Reverb/Delay, witch gets its input from one of the five headphone submixes. This channel can also act as return channel from my DAW. Deepmind 12, Poly D and a submixer with Take 5 and Korg M1 are going to two panned mono channels each. Im still waiting for 2 longer audio cables for Take 5 and M1 to connect directly to the mixer without submixer. Next step is to involve the Launchpad to the dawless part, I’ using it only as Ableton controller at the moment. I’m thinking about controlling Digitone and Peak via Midi with costum templates.

Multi-quotes, since I’m catching up on a backlog of posts. It’s been a busy (and fun) holiday season .

Those look like Airwalks – this is so 1998, I’m having flashbacks. Love it, thanks for sharing!

A lot of power in here – time to get to work!
