    This is exactly how I'm setting up my whole workflow. 100% improvised. For me it's because I just can't get my brain to come back to the same thought after a session. I can't stand the idea of building up a "playlist" for a set. That sounds like torture to me. Major executive dysfunction stuff. But I love just learning the tricks of the tools to just tweak stuff on the fly. It's so much more satisfying to me. Love this vid!

    Improvised performance is a funny thing. I think ppl think it means to create new ideas on the spot. It’s not really true… at least in live traditional music (blue, jazz, rock). It’s more about substituting in things you know work at the right time. This actually blew my mind years ago when I read it in an interview and learned it to be true… and it really helped me sound better when I hit the stage as I was much more confident in what I was performing. Of course you can do what you want… but thought I’d mention it in case it helps someone.

    Thqnk you! Loved to see such a competent video diving into detail on this subject and I like the elektron/non elektron approach! I have a similar setup and focus on improvisation, but using an MPC live together with some semi modulars instead. With some practice you can make some surprisingly decent improvised live sets. Especially after realising the q-link knobs can be mapped to do basixally anything! For those of you who are interested in doing improvised techno: make it enjoyable for yourself, make it easy. Less is more. Don't fall into the trap of thinking more stnths equals more potential. It is true, but it also means more distractions and less focus. Your feelings behind the knobs will be translated to the crowd whatever they may be.

    This video was great. I love to hear about finding spots in the room and how you can manipulate the energy of the crowd with sound and also ways to make DJ/Techo performance more hands-on. The way he controls each aspect of the sounds calls for Roland or someone like that to make a better device! I'll try to do a lot of what he said with the mappable encoders on the MC-707 and see how far I get.

    Great stuff! I have a somewhat similar setup but same mindset. I'm using the Torso to sequence three voices in a modular synth, and drums from Ableton. I'm using the Faderfox PC4 to control effects and params in the whole setup but after seeing this I kind of want even more knobs haha. Protip: I opted to set my kick on channel 16 in the Torso, so that I can easily mute it with one hand, while using the other to turn knobs.

I love mine and highly recommend it. I use it with bitwig and voltage modular 2, and tend towards more ambient and berlin svhool, but many principles of the set-up are identical. Since i do.not use hardware synths, I use the faderfox for the synths, arps and drum sounds, and an akai midiMix for the drum pattern control.

    Awesome, thanks for the reply! either a text answer or a video on how to get a good mastering chain for a hardware set up would be great! I’ve seen the doctron IMC be used (very expensive) and these mod devices are a great alternative for some EQ/Saturation/limiting with stereo ins/outs when not using a DAW/computer. Would have loved to hear a few thoughts on setting that up so like he said your sound can stand up beside DJs who you may be playing alongside at such an event.

    I have the toriaz sp 16 has a lot of the features of the rmx 1000 included which is really nice for transitioning , little menu diving great sequencer but catered more to making loop based songs . Kinda like a sp 404 on adrenaline.. I think it's best to focus on mastering your existing gear, the root reason for constantly trading gear for other gear is probably the individual’s probablm

Anyone knows what's being mapped next to volume knob for the synths? For the bassline it's the modulation between the 2 vco's, but what's it for the other synth layers?

    He's in good company using the Torso T-1 to drive a set like this. Anthony Childs (AKA Surgeon) too. Declarative Techno is a great way to go for generating material, leaves the performer to concentrate on sound sculpting, arrangement, mixing, effects and transitions. It's a bit more like being a conductor than having to take care of every little detail. Neat idea using the Mod Dwarf for mastering chain. There aren't too many standalone devices to do that, if you don't want to either bring a laptop, or spend really quite a lot on the DOCtron Stimming Instant Mastering Chain. Idk, maybe the newer Analog Heat mk.II can also be useful for that, compared to the Analog Heat mk.I?

    I guess if one replaces those synths with MIDI controllers and adds a half decent laptop it will be as useable if not more useable. Just map knobs to some VSTs parameters and there won't be any difference, at least the same level of "immediacy" during live performance.
