Updated setup while waiting for NDLR and Kenton Control Freak Live
I had to triple check if your Richard Devine - same light and perspective in the photo. But he has obviously way more gear. I wonder if he has some kind of addiction.
I actually didnât pick the light colorâŚThey are grow lights for my house plants.
I like how aside from the odd dark trinity or DT/DN combo, almost no setups are exactly the same. I find it really interesting seeing what people choose for their setups.
He (Mr. Devine) is a sound designer by trade, so he âneedsâ to have a lot of options at his fingertips. I think, though, he has to have some kind of special ability to compartmentalize or something. Iâd go nuts with all the options and parameters and remembering how the heck to do this with that.
That would be fun to sample!
Pretty bold statement in the Elektron forum
The Audio Fuse Studio has some handy features to make this quite easy.
Those are great combos, that obviously work great, and are clearly meant to be used together. Iâm certainly not knocking them! I just mean that theyâre the exception to everyone having a different setup. Even amongst those setups though, probably most people would be using different headphones, or speakers.
I might also add OT/DN/DT to that list.
The reason so many people do use them together is because they work so well and actually become nearly one cohesive instrument.
Cool, no offense either, just trying to be funny
I have ar and a4 mk1 combo myself, but just got a rytm mk2 and maybe use only that and an iPad and sell the two mk1s⌠will see how that feels in the next weeks
Yeah, thatâs my credo as well! I need all this to be happy. Next stop: Modular!
But even with all the gear the same two tracks come out of it. Either an Autechre clone track that lacks cohesion, just randomness. Or Pandora electronic chill/ambient.
Adding (just my opin)
Cooler stuff has come from this
RDJ setup
Than thisâŚRD setup
Ha - yeah, if youâre talking about his music, definitely. Can pick it up from a mile away.
You mean like (later) Autechre?
Burn the heretic!

To me, that just tells me youâre not listening.
Well youâre right about that
On paper i should love them⌠Adventurous, experimental electronica. I went through their entire back catalogue this year, and beyond about 2000 I kept thinking exactly what you wrote - Lacks cohesion. But hey, taste is taste eh. I guess Iâm just in the mood to get burned alive
Thatâs the beauty of art though, one manâs cohesive masterpiece is another manâs out of time electronic bin slapping.
Subjective innit.
True dat. Which is part of the reason I donât like to talk about good and bad taste in music (/ arts in general). There is just taste.
that legendary pic⌠never noticed he has an MS50 and MS20 in there; was always so distracted by the Synthi⌠whatâs all over his MPC? mini disc players?
also, if youâre thinking for a second that RDJâs setup (even back then) doesnât dwarf RDâs, then youâre kidding yourself.
