Finally got enough midi plumbing together to make this setup work nicely! Loving this little “groove box extended” system. I have an embarrassing number of Midi Solutions boxes set to get a midi-thru workaround for the Electribe, but it’s worth it. Basically I can sequence everything from the E2 and do “live midi looping” while playing either the hardware synths or iOS instruments using the Keystep. I still need to nail down the signal flow and decide how I want to handle drums.
One of my cats is not doing so well and has claimed my studio as his own, so I needed to figure out a portable way to use all my gear so I can give him the space he needs. The solution was a Pedaltrain Terra 42, a couple power strips, and a whole bunch of zip ties! Once I figure out a decent stand and can rearrange things so they all fit in the case, I’ll have a very fun, somewhat portable, performance setup for various kinds of electronic music. I’m hoping to get my chops in a place where I can improvise ambient dance music for hours at a time.
