Attempt at Explaining Live Synth Rig
Рет қаралды 55,964
6 жыл бұрынAfter posting a picture of my live rig on a few different Facebook groups, some people were asking for an explanation of what's doing what. Instead of typing it all out (cuz I'm lazy), I decided to make a video instead. The video is raw, unedited, and unplanned, so don't expect anything pretty; hopefully you find it informative.
So here it is, a (not so) quick and dirty attempt at explaining how I use the following gear:
-Korg Kronos 2 88
-ROLI Seaboard Rise 49
-Korg NanoPAD2
-Korg NanoKONTROL2
-Keith McMillen K-Board
-Alesis Vortex Wireless 2
-MRT Breath Controller
-Behringer XR18
-iPad Pro 12.9
-Surface Pro 2 running Bitwig Studio
-Surface Pro 2017 runnnig Cantabile Performer (VST host)
-TC Helicon VoiceWorks
-iConnectivity iConnectMIDI4+
-and a bunch of other miscellaneous stuff like pedals, usb hosts, SSDs, and so on
Let me know if you have any questions, and I'll do my best to answer them, or make something up.
Thanks for watching!

Very impressive rig. Thanks. I have a Kronos 88 and the nanopad. Some days ago I bought the seaboard rise 25. So far I worked without an extra computer. I want to use Kronos Sounds with the seaboard. Can you give some advice, how to run the Kronos-Sounds with the seaboard and to use the possibilities of the seabord? There is a video for an Exi-Sound, but I didn't succeed in the HD1-Sounds. Especially I couldn't get the aftertouch. I would like to control a sax or a cello with the seaboard.
@ManueldelaTorre 3 жыл бұрын
Sorry, I have never attempted to play the Kronos sounds with the Seaboard, as I don't have the need for it, and I'm sure it would be quite a lot of programming work due to the multi-channel nature of the Seaboard.

I know a lot of musicians use Mac on stage because of reliability. How reliable is this setup, because you are using Windows machines for most of your sounds.
@ManueldelaTorre 3 жыл бұрын
I haven't had any major problems. I have never gigged with a Mac, so I can't compare, but I have never liked the idea of having a laptop onstage. The VST host I use is fully optimized for touchscreen, and I give that a lot of value. If Apple finally came out with a MacOS tablet, and MainStage was optimized for it, I would probably consider that route.

@@ManueldelaTorre I guess I've been a victim of confusion, because I honestly thought Mac for live use only, because it's sturdy. Interesting to see someone using a Windows and it's reliable. Was there ever a day the rig "broke" and refused to work?

@@tonylancer7367 I have had to restart one of them a couple of times, but I attribute that to the fact that I use it for many many things other than music, so there's a bunch of processes running all the time. The older Surface Pro 2 that I use exclusively for Bitwig sequences has never given me any trouble.

It is a very specialized device, and it isn't cheap. That said, it can do absolutely amazing things, and I simply couldn't give it up. I think a lot depends on the type of music you're playing. Wind instruments and strings are phenomenal, and synth leads are also pretty amazing, especially since you can do everything with one hand (vibrato, pitch bend, aftertouch).
