Which mixer is that. Mackie, right?

Nice. Much appreciated. Interesting it’s got the two aux, when the Xenyx doesn’t until you get to the 1202.

yeah it’s just not in a rack, along with the 2x mangroves and the monome trilogy set. if i could somehow squeeze it in with akemie’s castle that’d be ideal, but i like akemie’s castle too much to move it out.

Cute keyboard. I’ve had a HHKB Lite Mac in the house for a few years, but just coughed up many £££ for a HHKB Pro 2 Type-S (such a daft name) for my new Linux computer.

Yeah I love it I’ve had it for about 10 years or so, bought it in a little shop in Akihabara, hence the Japanese layout.

new/next live setup. Not pictured, the Analog Four and RYTM that this is driving.

Onyx 820i,

Can you tell me a little about those two mixers (white and black 4x4s)?

They’re Midi Fighters: http://www.midifighter.com/

:edit for correction:

Toaster · 2017-02-25T07:57:51.591Z

The white one is a twister. The black one is a 3D Fighter. I use the twister to control effects sends, and the 3D fighter for beats/one shot samples.

Thank you @spacelordmother and @Toaster

So finally managed to find a really good working configuration of like 1/4 of my gear, putting dreams of impossibly clever sequencing software/hardware to one side. Want to get the floor stuff on a piece of wood, get everything velcro-ed down, then it should be possible to move out for live playing…

Currently taking me many attempts & much experimentation to produce anything with this rig - needs a lot of practice to master such an instrument! But here’s a weird out-of-control aleph guitar noodle on top of some backing loops which could potentially be reproduced in a live setting, if I can get a lot better at looping, playing drumpads & mini keyboard that is…

Okay … I’ll bite; what the hell is this? Stompbox to make your tone more woody?

infovore · 2017-02-28T19:22:10.891Z

Momentary voltage source?

shellfritsch · 2017-02-28T19:34:22.867Z

i kinda want to wait and see what other people guess…

buuuut - it’s just a simple switch wired to 9v so i can ping teletype scripts with my foot. to prevent double pings i put a self-mute/delayed un-mute on the script.

Smart! It’s the lowest-fi version of Walk, basically. Great idea.

Larrea · 2017-02-28T21:41:48.456Z

Cool.

Kind of reminds me of this minor project of mine using a bunch of worm/termite-eaten local walnut I harvested after it was cut down. I’m using some for a pedal board, routing out cavities for devices. Also have made a small side table and other odds and ends. Looks really cool with the tunnels once you plane, sand, polish, and oil it.
