How I Play Live Techno on a Eurorack Modular Synth

A run down of how I've been approaching playing live, improvised techno and progressive house recently.
After many different approaches this is where I have landed today, no doubt it will evolve. I am leaning into the modular in terms of making things improvised, on the fly, very few pre prepared sequences, a few prepared samples and loops just to spice things up.
Gear used:
Torso T1 sequencer
Mutable Instruments Stages
Mutable Instruments Tides clone (Jakplugg)

Dig it. Lots of good info here thank you. Now what’s this about a modded fmp firmware?

@mentat7984 12 дней назад

;) yeah i much preferred the ‘pickup’ mode because when playing live I didn’t like switching to one of the voices and it all changing to match the knob positions. The way I was using it I had to hold the button for pickup mode every time I used the switch. So the firmware I have is in pickup mode all the time, and you can switch to the absolute mode by holding the button - the opposite behaviour to stock basically.

Brilliant run through of what's in the case and how you can flex each part (and you only touched the surface). On the chords side of things, do you tend to stick to one progression for a set? Then I assume your melody and bass sequences are in the same key, so is it a function of the Torso to be able to change the notes in a particular pattern/sequence and keep it in key?

@mentat7984 14 дней назад

Thank you! The Torso has a knob for scale, with two functions- the scale type and the root key. It is set per track. You can adjust this for all tracks at the same time, but the way I use it that would mess up the drum tracks. So I currently set all the instrument tracks to the same, then I can change sequences and them still work in key. To be honest I’m still developing my fluency enough to work with more complex chord progressions, but I do change the chord based parts as I go. There’s quite a few different ways to work with chord progressions using the range, cycles and voicing knobs. Recently I’ve been sticking in the same key for a whole set, but I’d like to mix it up a bit- just another layer of complexity to bring in as I get more practiced.

@@mentat7984 thanks, I'm with you on mastering (or at least getting vaguely proficient) with one area of complexity - playing with filters, envelopes, effects and bringing things in and out to maintain interest - before adding another layer. This got me wondering whether my Korg nanoPad can do key/scale stuff. I've only ever used it to trigger samples. Time to get the manual out...
