QUESTION: Infusion @ System

anyone know the tracks these guys were thowing down.. and what kinda of equipment were they using?

the only way i could explain it to my friends was that they were on magic music machines

Posted by Max Q on Dec-02-2003 06:23:

Well, I didn't get a chance to see them up close when I was there, but from the pics that LKD took, it seems they had the following to work with:

Nord Lead (Keyboard with nice LFOs and knobs to mess with the sound in real-time)

Akai MPC Sampler - has square pads where they can trigger any sound/sample they have programmed..

Tonnes of Effects (eg. A yamaha guitar pedal hooked up through a little mini-mixer on top of the Nord Lead, probably some more stuff in rack-mounts that we can't see

Mixing Console - (to pump all the audio from the rest of the gear through)

Laptop - Probably with either sequencing software (like Cubase or Logic) or maybe using Ableton Live or Propellerheads Reason (Just guessing; there could be many other options)

.. and obviously live vocals...

All this combined and orchestrated to provide live dynamic music. I don't know any of Infusion's tracks (I will have to find their music) so I don't know if what they were playing that night was pre-fabricated or composed on the spot.

All in all, a wicked set -- I so wanna do that some day (Anyone interested in starting one up with me? )

i said, 'its probably magic'

and it probably was

I've got a mackie 1402 (a little less than 64 channels :P), Yamaha EX5 synth, Edirol PCR50 midi keyboard controller (so we can get a couple more tone-generators and hook them up),

Outboard Effects: Lexicon MPX100 multiFx processor, Electrix MOFX (another multifx processor -- distortion, delay, tremolo, flange) both with tap-tempo capability.

I've got software as well (have you tried Ableton Live? ooooooohhhh *spooge*)

I can also get my hands on some effects pedals...

Check it out: Ableton Live - CLICK ME!

(I've made my most recent tracks using this and Propellerheads Reason together)

and you can definitely go to town with your harmonics/delay processor -- just need something to hook up to it (like a synth )

(btw.. you can download a trial version of Live from Ableton's website .. and check out the reviews too. Richie Hawtin likes this product :P)
