The Commodore 64 with MSSIAH. After solding a jack output, I need now to build a 4-knob controller for it.

Here the core of Ableton Live set-up: the Macbook, and the Presonus FP10. Also 2 turntables and Serato for scratching.

All I need is here. But all I want are: a Mono Evolver Key, a Machinedrum, perhaps a Soundcraft mixer, more money...
Do you use the atari?And how?As long as you have Ableton Live,do you need the atari?
I used to own one back in 1990.

Hello,

funny, nobody called me "p mousse" until now. It reminds me a French candy called "petit Pimousse".

The Trigger Finger works well for me. Perhaps the pads are a bit too hard for me. Perhaps should I modify the velocity curve. But faders and knobs seem too plastic for me, to fragile. The Trigger Finger is a cheap controler, you get what you pay. I have never tried the MPC.

This is hopefully my last studio setup in Chicago (moved 4 time in the last year). Now I'm above a vacant storefront so I have the whole building to myself. Super close to my 2 favorite record stores in the city (Permanent and K-Stark records). Only thing missing is L8/ MFL/ APC40! (and some more booze)

Hi, I was waiting for the Atari for one month, and just receive it last week. I add it to my set up today. I do not plan to use it as a sequencer or a midi clock master. Live do all those jobs. I will use it for its sound chip. This is why I try Maxymiser, a chip tracker able to midi synchronize and to trigger pattern loops a little like Live (the coders seem to be inspired by Live).

Hardware like SID station are too expensive. It is better to use cheap and original hardware, isn't it?

In an attempt to move away from the computer... MPC + effects pedals = Win.

It's working nicely.

All about 'Off the wall', AND Makers Mark, AND Amarone de la Valpolicella. But I believe that drum machines do have a soul...

no, i thought your eidorol controller has drum pads too right????? Yea, i've had the trigger finger for a while too. It's ok, but i upgraded to the mpd24.
