RE: Define
well i think i have determined what my live PA will be...
here is my situation... typical dj type guy who has been producing for several years wanting to go live
what i have decided on is taking out the following:
roland digital mixer
yamaha rs7000
nord lead 3
all of my beats, reaktor synths, and efx will be sampled into the rs7000 and set to a track.
the nord will be triggered live from the rs7000 midi sequencer and knobs will be tweaked but i probably will not play live keys (i suck at it)
my songs will all have no arrangement to them other than the typical 'main loops' and 'breakdown/changeup' loops... so i will be bringing in parts as i go and essentially composing the songs as i go.
seeing as how i have no actual playing abilities, this setup will be a good compromise of live cuz the song is never the same twice and the nord will be constantly changing etc.
i already have a monthly dj slot and the promoters are wanting me to do a live set anytime i want, i just have to get all my tunes ported over to the rs :-)
anyone have any suggestions or additions? i figure turning stuff on and off and twisting nord knobs will keep one guy with two hands plenty busy.
