With the KS Expander I'm now able to perform with one Synthi only :hihi:
No need to carry 2 suitcases + mixer in the train anymore.
Thank you Digitana :tu:

papz – I fuckin hate you, I'm sorry, but I do…
:guinness:

It's just – I went to a Thomas Lehn concert two days ago, and now I'm in love with the Synthi… Never understood what fuss was all about, but now I see – it's a perfect (at least for me) blend of a modular/synth as a beast to tame, and performance instrument in one.

BTW – very nice pictures. BTW 2 – anywhere I could hear your music online?

Cheers,
Lukasz

Hi Lukasz
Thanks for hating me Image

I 100% agree with you about the Synthi, and Thomas Lehn is one of its best ambassadors for sure, I'd be happy to see him in concert too.

Here is a track I improvised with... (you'll fuckin' hate me even more :hihi: ) ... 4 Synthis playing together on my 40th birthday.

Still building / discovering what I need for my live setup, use with x0xb0x Octatrack and Jomox 999 although finding less need for the Jomox with these drum modules which means for easier travelling.

Want to go for a Braids and some more clock / sequencing bits .

Update with audio.
[bandcamp width=100% height=120 album=2715985347 size=large bgcol=ffffff linkcol=0687f5 tracklist=false artwork=small]

Here's my setup from yesterday's gig. I was so excited to finally receive my Macumbista Benjolin, I left my 6U of Euro at home.

The Benjolin out to EXH Deluxe Memory Boy delay in, then split – one chain directly to my Zoom H6 (which I also used as a mixer), the second chain to Eventide Space (and then to two inputs of the H6). The Doepfer Mini Case included: Doepfer A119 (with a switched op-amp and various contact mikes attached to different things used), Echophon, MA Mix – the signal went directly to the H6's fourth channel.

It was a duo with a friend who made various noises using contact microphones, metal bowls, and other stuff. The gig was a blast! :guinness: :sb:

Sorry for the crappy pic.

Mr. Lehn is pretty amazing to watch live. I saw him with Konk Pack two years ago. He carries a big patch book with him which he referred to a few times. He also likes to "glitch" the synthi by manupilating the Prestopatch card.

From that performance:

wow, so many nice and inspirative live modular setups here. glad i stumbled on this thread.



we had a gig on Sep 22, as guest performers during a theatre festival. improvising a live score to a collage of new experimental films. a combination of psyhedelics, ambient and some berliner schule moments. four of us; electric violin, el. guitar, a friend doing sequencing on microbrute and sh101, and me with a6, sys100 and a christening for my euro case. for fx i carried re201 and lex 300. two shots from sound check:

one thing i got painfully aware of - i need some LED light for my case but have no hp left. perhaps something that can clamp on the edge, dunno. at times, i had to use my mobile phone to patch :zombie:. it was very dark.




and here's an older shot from 2010, while we still carried crapload of gear, including elektor formant modular. my setup then was jp8, a6, xt, sh2, solina, rs7k and rhodes:

I've been using the Ikea Jansjo gooseneck reading lamps all over the studio for a while now and usually bring a couple to gigs. The color temperature is pleasing enough and they're fairly inexpensive, and can be had with clamp mounts or a weighted base. Highlighting the wire spaghetti with a little LED spot is always a people pleaser!

Im sure theres better options but ive found these to work well and cheap enough to be somewhat expendable. I used AA LED goose necks in the past but those always die at the worst times, plugin is the way to go. Will be switching to USB apparently when I get my Lunchbox Magnum.


That's an impressive rig btw!

My setup for a live last week : Concertmate 500, Boss DD20 and 3U modular (processing the concertmate, clocking the modular and generating sounds). I added a vibrato pedal at the last minute but didn't use it, should have brought a Muff or my Shredmaster instead :bananaguitar: ...

great, thanks for the tip !! i actually remember looking at those, i've been to Ikea few weeks back. ideally i'd like something miniscule, even smaller, but if i dont find it, i'll go with these..

thanks. we sometimes had roadies, that's how the old setup was possible. but it took me 1.5 hours to connect everything, tune and do sound check. every time. i was often too tired to play after that.. :roll:

From a gig here in Gothenburg a few weeks ago. The show was a two-parter. First the synth played a Krell-patch for an hour or so, then I did a drone set with improvised modular on top of a pre-recorded clarinet drone. I was going to play the clarinet as well but got a bad cold a few days before and decided to play it safe.

The front 1U will house utilities, ribbon controller, and multi-pin connectors for quickly patching the cases together. Clocking, drums, signal routing/mixing will go into a third case.

PSU/dist boards are yet to be installed. I put these together just before an interstate move and haven't had a chance to power em up yet :waah:

Did you ever finish these? Do you have a link to those cases? They look perfect for the job.
