I just saw a pic of someone's *performance* rig, and it was like 3 pedals a laptop and a monotron. I would prefer not to think about all the money I've spent on gear so I can sit in.my kitchen making bleeping noises now and again.
@botvolution I saw Pan sonic play years ago, and their setup was a home made box that was basically a couple of drone devices, an 808 and a handful of pedals. It sounded like Pan Sonic. I think the trick is to believe what you're doing (I don't most of the time).
I've spent decades using keyboards and mousing screens, for work and at work, and the idea of doing nothing but clicking buttons and piano rolls and moving tiny sliders & knobs and shit just makes me irritable and sets my teeth on edge. Every time I've tried Ableton or whatever I just end up wanting to throw the fucking laptop out of the window.
@botvolution sometimes i really wish i just had a laptop and a controller. But I‘m fine,my entire studio now fits into a tiny corner of our living room and is mobile and i want to keep it that way
