New case and a few more modules equals an excuse to fire up the disco lights and attempt to track something live using ~2/3rds of all the bits and most of my cables.

Nice n fresh atmospheric sounds. Love that piano part. It's cool what you did here!

This is awesome, one of your best yet, all those flashy lights, looks so amazing and sounds great, great production on the vid too, you are getting really good at this!

Thank ye both kindly. It's getting closer to where I want in terms of sound design for tracking one thing at a time which is the important part, but it's still also a lot of fun to attempt "all at once" recordings like this, though a little stressful. This was supposed to be a 5-6 minute tune, but I rushed through the transitions just due to performance anxiety.

Might do a slowed down version with more than 1 piano loop.

Do you have a controller to program in things like over all BPM or do you have to do that for each module? Plus I am assuming you do your mixing and eq after it's recorded? The balance is great and all is crystal clear across the board.

How I do what depends on what "Experiment" I'm trying to do. If I'm doing a song in my DAW, I can multi-track it using MIDI for the timing, recording each sound separate, but in this case the whole thing is being run by a "clock" module that synchronizes everything that needs to land on the beat, no proper sequencers on this one. The audio is 100% live, going through a new mixer module, funneling it all down to 2 channels of audio with me changing levels manually (that's what most of the hand waving is - usually 0 to some pre-set maximum I'd already adjusted so I wouldn't overshoot, though some resonant EQ filter stuff was done by hand too), so on this one the DAW mixing was after the fact was just a touch of low/high end shelving and compression, the rest of the mix was all done inside the mess of modules.

And just in case you really want more, here's the same patch with a few tweaks, more piano, and a slower tempo before I pull all the cables and start something new.

What an extraordinary set up you have, brings great sounds, and the best part about it, and you love what you do, and that love in the making, is awesome 🕶
