He uses that to record his set. The only thing that disappointed me was that he records it with Ableton. Audacity > *

Edit: And yeah, the Maven is the Maven, and it will always be praised. I wouldn't want one, though. I'd rather build my own MIDI controller which I'm planning on doing anyways.

That's what I've heard but I've asked once... some tech guy of Sasha...he said nope..and it was up and running...or maybe they weren't bothering with recording that night. I don't know...but I thought there was more to it then that.

Nope. I had a perfect view of the whole booth and all that it was doing was recording it. The sound waves were perfectly visible, and when his iMac crashed on him the sound waves stopped, and returned when his set started up again.

That's the best photo I have of it.

There kind of is...

He uses that to trigger track clips in ableton, as well as add effects and adjust volume, tempo, and whatever.

He performs his sets with it.


It really is a beautiful machine .

That's not what we're talking about. We're talking about a separate laptop that sits off to the side of his iMac/Maven setup.

Yeah..then that guy lied to me..I asked if there would be a release of the recording or how I'd be able to get a copy of it...he said there was no recording of the set....well..I guess he was trying to give me a more polite response then...yeah..we aren't going to release it.

well its not like sasha is doing something spectacular with ableton and he needs a dual core cpu or something.
ok the controller looks nice and it has pretty lights...if you have the patience/geek factor you can build one yourself.
but look at this and cream your pants : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-CtxzSMAYc
