Your Setups (Part 1)

Interesting, I saw Rival Consoles live last night and his setup looked pretty much the same devices, only with a Prophet (6? Rev 2?) instead of the Roland and two additional pedals (Red Panda Tensor?). But he also had the AH and Bam I guess he compensated the lack of your eight parts by firing up a lot of live sounding stems from a launchpad or something.

Do you have any recordings of a performance of you with that setup?

Rival Consoles use mainly the Rev 2. I remember a video in the studio

But that’s a prophet 08.

*sorry.

There’s an interview quoted here extensively in which he mentions upgrading to a Rev2. So I guess you’re both right :heart:.

I saw Ryan (Rival Consoles) last year in Manchester, and saw his Rev2/AH/Bam setup, and it did sound great, and, I did make a mental note.

I’ve only just brought the AH back out and into this setup (yesterday) as I was using the HX Stomp for those duties (saturation/EQ/filtering)… but the hands on control with the AH is way better, and it sounds great. The AH is one of those devices where you kinda don’t realise what it’s doing until you switch it off, then you get it.

Similar story with the Bam, it’s a reverb that you can play, it becomes a dynamic part of the whole chain.

Not yet, apart from some messing about I was doing yesterday… but the possibilities are pretty endless tbh.

That’s so cool, it’s why I love this forum :heart:. Seing that setup at a big show and then immediately finding someone here who made that idea their own with a different spin!

How far we’ve come

And now, we’ve only to wait and see if the SP-404 MKII survives another 25 years, so it can make a cameo next to the sampler of the future—which will, of course, make brilliant music for you, and with it, millions of dollars (which may or may not amount to the cost of a cup of coffee in 2048).

:wink:

Cheers!

Waiting for the Elektrons to arrive. Gotta squash everything onto this table as the studio is now also my youngest daughter’s classroom. The reason for all my trading and swappery as of late. The M8 is really going to be nice for out of studio musicing though. :slight_smile:

Anyway, the professional is meeting my grandmother, and they are getting along nicely!

Temp setup:

The keybed in the Grandmother is exceptional. I already loved Sequential keyboards, but playing side by side, the Moog keybed really stands out. Both are absolutely lovely though.

Putting together a mini setup. Managed to preserve master crossfade transitions and the shuttle’s sidechain on master. Couple refinements (opz line module, birdcords for battery) and a building a simple board still to go yet.

Got the cabling cleaned up (kinda) and some of it in the patch bay! Also built quick stands for the pedals from scrap wood. All this effort and most of the time I’m on the couch across the room with a single instrument!

I’d puts the lotion in the basket for a chance to try that setup :star_struck:

I’m still struggling with this setup because Push and Digis are not ergonomical to work with on the Jaspers. Maybe need to move them to the desk but it’s only 60cm depth and it gets crowded with the Mac/Screen/Monitors. On the rack there’s the MRCC waiting for the rack ears. Room still waiting for the black baseboard which doesn’t affect music btw :sweat_smile:.

Looks great!

As far as ergonomics, I’d get a monitor riser that allows the Push to slide under when not in use, and some speaker stands with the Digis in front of them.

Craving for a Microcosm?

maybe I’m missing a digi since you pluralized it, but I only see the DT. if it’s just that one, I’d say get some short monitor stands and raise them up a bit. then put the DT in front of one and Push in front of the other.

either way, I’d raise those monitors up to ear level and possibly isolate them with padding as well (depending on what the stands have built in, isolation-wise).

An angled stand would cut some depth. You can also mount your monitors on the wall.
