RE: Playing Modular Synth in a Club
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I mean I think I COULD replicate it on an iPAd (or in Ableton which I use too). But then I feel it would be a completely different instrument/performance and I'd have to redo all the years of practice for that instrument...
Anyway it's a journey - and no equipment/setup is right or wrong as we know - it's what you make of it!

Exactly!
Yeah, I used to take my whole freaking studio setup to a gig almost but then I finally started separating my production from my performances and it got much easier to deal with. Ableton changed the game for me for sure, but yeah, if you are used to actual gear and the sounds that come through that, digital is just not the same.
Cool! It's a journey for everyone!
Ironically when I play live I actually mostly use digital oscillators in my modular because of tuning/reliability - but ofc I do have many other analog components (esp filters) as part of each patch.
I am not opposed to combining modular/analog with Ableton/iPad based setups - it's ALL perfectly valid. In fact I love some of the sounds I've used in VSTs in production tracks and have used them live too - more when I perform in a duo with a singer than with my modular sets.
What I'd actually really love would be able to have a soft synth version of my Prophet Rev 2 because my favourite PAD sound on it I use ALL the time in the studio/in my Twitch streams but I haven't been able to find anything like it that I can take to gigs (without taking my Rev 2).
Do you play live these days? If so what kind of stuff?
Na, I don’t play out anymore. Those days are over. If anything I bring my portable 7 inch turntable so instead of a guy with the guitar at a camp out, I am the fireside scratch dude, lol.😂
