Yeah, I've managed to knock a midi cable out of one of my faderfoxes before, mid set... I'm sure I had a similarly daft look on my face as I struggled to understand why it had stopped workingPitch Black wrote:Forge, I agree. It's a perfectly reasonable explanation, and I feel a bit foolish for my post.
It's a sore point with me - there certainly are more than enough dead acts out there.

You know, I'ma also give these guys the benefit of the doubt... Maybe the scarier looking of the dudes was using the only working mixer, while the other, scruffier looking dude, practiced his knob and slider movements, before he got his turn to play with the connected mixer...
Like in baseball.
Before you go to the plate to face the pitcher, you stand in the on deck circle, and practice your swings... It's not like you're faking it.. You're just swinging to get your swing on...

When using the midi outs, you need to also have a power supply in that thing no?
Or could he have been using a USB cable to power it/control something, and the USB has come out?

I like that!aeon wrote:as an addendum - Colin OOOD has a nord modular patch called the 'toothbreaker' which he loads whenever some punter suspects he's not playing live and bashes a few keys. it's like... a mega-synced, mega-FMd wall of distorto-noise at 1,000,000dB
Yea, probably the Urb blog is probably the explanation, but then again what do you expect him to say....yea, we're fuckin Milli Vanilli! End of career....

Yeah, cables pop out, it happens. I can't count how many times as a guitar player that a cable has come out of my rig! And, the professional thing to do for your audience is to keep up the show, not all of a sudden look completely perplexed and start going "Oh, shit!" on stage. You keep up the show and calmly try and figure it out. It's just unfortunate when a photo gets snapped at that moment!
Now, on to those www.deadact.com vids. I just watched the first 2, and I have to say, that's pretty much why so many people hate on electronic/DJ whatevers. 2 minutes of hand pumping and swaying around like your surfing, nothing looks douchier or more lacking in talent than that shit.
