Floating Points Studio & Live Rig 

We are with you 100%. Have had the pleasure of helping him (in a small way!) get the gear and sound he wants for a few years now. It's just astonishing to watch and hear him in action.

@@Soundgas well you guys seem to be doing an amazing job at it :)

Can’t lie ! This guy reminds me of Casper pound at work back in the 90s . 1st time I ever said that ! Hope to see Sam on the job soon 😎

Likewise also artists like Four Tet and Forest Swords somehow manage to make synthesised/computer sounds beautiful and human. The UK's smashing it for electronic musicians.

@@johnyixcks Somehow UK has always produced some of the most forward thinking and innovative musicians and composers of all time. Something in the water, I swear.

Think you’ve got to really know your equipment, inside out upside down etc etc....really impressive. So much gear live must be quite stressful, heard a lot of live performers have three or four bits of gear to keep the stress out of live gigs.

Once you’ve got everything clocked to one midi source can actually be fairly easy. Understanding Buchla is definitely not though.

Yes! He was pretty epic at Printworks in London as well!

:)

😂

Yamaha CS-70M

Yeh overstayer pretty cool

Maybe the fact that Mozart didn't have all the gear that made him great

@@eduardclaudiufadgyas3365 mozart wrote for orchestras lol

In comparison, we got someone who's better than all of the respective best at their genres put together..times ten....

More everything!

It's a Swiss compact broadcast mixer - more info/links on our blog: soundgas.com/blog/soundgas-in-london-floating-points-studio-tour/

@@Soundgas exactly what I came to the comments! Cheers!

Yes, Ableton for the looping

@@Soundgas sexy. Thankyou. And thanks for the video. I need to figure out how I can loop in Ableton, but the pre loop audio pause. Then after I'm done fing with the loop, have it play seemlessly from where it paused and looped. Hmmmmmm 🤔

@@chat-dmt i see what you mean..... may be best finding a max for live or a vst

Ableton!

@@Soundgas Any specific plugin? I'm trying to replicate what he's doing and can't get the same results using the stock looper.

Xavier Marques probably some audio fx rack with at least beat repeat and looper

@@d_siah Yeah! That's a good way to go! Will give it a try! Thanks for the tip!

@@macakinhomusic yeah, Looper and Beat Repeat inside Ableton. Also seems to have a filter at the end of that chain

Therevox ET-4.3

SONOSAX SX-S, details in the blog post linked in the description. I do like the form factor on that one

Would like to know also. Looks nice and compact with lots of aux options.

@@theboytheycalljonny1 Sonosax broadcast mixer

@@DRRNNDGL thanks for that. I ended up figuring it out. Big bucks!

@@DRRNNDGL Sonosax SX-ST

It's a Therevox ET. Sounds amazing doesn't it.

He's a long standing customer - there are lots of things from us in there, including that CS-70M. Seeing and hearing the things we've restored being used like this is absolutely one of the best things about doing what we do :)

What's the closest modern synth that sounds like that Yamaha cs 70 m?

@@ahzootube TimbreWolf

@@juliaseppi2205 :D

@@ahzootube maybe deckards dream? (it's inspired by a cs80 i think)

It sounds like ground loop. Sometimes difficult to deal with but there is info online about ways to try and tackle it.

@@Soundgas Thanks man, I gonna try it.

He said better

Sonosax

And expensive as shit! Couldn't believe the price.

looper in ableton most likely

Its a Korg Nanokontrol 2, that drives the beat repeat in ableton. I assume his audio runs into ableton and back again, so hes able to do any fx inside it.

Sonosax SX-ST

What? Did floating points contribute to Yeezus and Yandhi?

Ben Bowland I wish who knows

Cs70

Yes, Therevox - more info/links via our blog: soundgas.com/blog/soundgas-in-london-floating-points-studio-tour/

@@Soundgas Amazing thank you

There can be no higher complement for someone who loves what they do and immerses themselves so completely.

Being a nerd is the best

Yes

@@Soundgas aka the stock Ableton "looper" ? not a fancy max for live thing ?

@@ahnatek custom max patch

On the live set it's just a midi controller. My guess is that it is linked to the the looper audio effect in Ableton !

A little bit...

Wesley Leigh there’s creativity in limitations

there is no right or wrong how to make music. stay with your laptop and set of speakers, see for yourself where you are at after 5 years, if still in front your computer then good, you have found your instrument for rest of your lifetime, but most of the time artists seek for inspirations out of their laptops after a while. it is just a different feeling of music creation. Floating Points has been using and I bet - he is still using computer for music production.

Who cares what you use, no one knows who you are and all of us know who floating points is. What are you trying to pove

Surely this is a troll right?
