Many of you have asked me to explain how my synthesizer rig is connected and controlled. So while setting up and preparing for my live show at the Assembly Winter LAN party in 2022, I used the opportunity to record a video explaining my live rig. Unfortunately, we had only 15 minutes to do this, because they had other programs as well on the stage that day. In reality, my 15 minutes dragged out to 30 minutes, but the organizers kindly let me rant on. Fortunately, I made it just in time for their next number. Having edited out the unnecessary explanations and mistakes, I realized that the final video became indeed 15 minutes long.

Kebu does it all! He repairs his own synths. He's a MIDI tech, audio engineer, visual media specialist, his own roadie, and even repairs his own truck! This is all on top of his amazing musicianship!

So Kebu's abilities to do all these things is simply impressive & thats not being an arse kisser, its a simple fact, the man has natural ability.

You are a musical treasure. As an IT guy I thought it was funny that not only your music goes through filters but also the midi signals as to not upset the old grumpy synths. :)

that kenton is a converter - it converts messages and controller information from the midi format into a controlled voltage [pattern] signal to mitigate similar expression or control through actual variable voltage fluctuations used by those older circuits.

@kebu I kind of feel like you don't realise how exceptional your talent really is.. learning to play to a standard as high as yours is one thing, designing & being able to fathom out that rig is just jaw dropping.. the complexity is lost on me, anyone who has seen what you did with The Chase & how you perform it flawlessly can only be mesmerised.. oh & the youtube vid of The Chase with you wearing the Equinoxe "Watcher" t-shirt is the cherry on the top 👍

Hi, Kebu Sorry for my bad English. I’m Brazilian I’m 57 yo and, less than one year ago, I decided to learn keyboard because I always love the old electronic music and watching a keyboarders, like you, was a inspiration. I never understood how is possible to you, alone, control all that gear at the same time. I hope one day, can see one of your live performances. Thank you for share videos like this.
@g3cd
@g3cd Год назад
A sequencer is one of the secrets to control your gear. Get a Polyend Seq, record the MIDI you play into it (like, your drums), then press "play" and the sequencer will recall the MIDI notes you recorded and control the drums for you, leaving you with time to play your main melody live. The Polyend Seq is awesome because it is one knob per function and super easy to learn and start with (it's no longer produced, get it on Reverb). I now switched to the Squarp Hapax after two years, which can do a lot more, but took me two months to learn 😢
@NogueiraMG
@NogueiraMG Год назад
@@g3cd Thank you for your reply. I knew about sequencers, but even with all the “helps” like it, it is hard to setting for all songs. There is a lot of work to do much time before the live performance start. And it is vital to be too organized to make all the gear works perfectly. Kebu is "one man orchestra".

If ya need tooo control alot of MIDI/CC channels Kurzweil sequencers are great & can act as A/D converters as well; might be a little less flexible than the Kenton's but work pretty well for this purpose. That unique function for a digital synth, being a trait unbeknownst tooo most thanx dude.

I can certainly understand you're using an MPC as the sequencer (the master of sequencing), personally I didn't discover the MPC universe (because I always thought it was beat-boxes), but when the Key 61 (an MPC err...Beatbox with a keyboard built in) the entire world of music changed for me (and I'm 55+ years young) and grew up with Juno, DX7's, Kawai synths etc. And that changed my workflow to new heights. So yeah, fun to see your setup Kebu, thanks a lot for that, makes me all nostalgic and wet eyed.

I have the upmost respect for what you do, you're like a DJ on stage, but in this instance, when you trigger a phrase or w/e, you're either sequencing it, not relying on some sample, and then you have the live keys element. The energy is amazing and how you're able to do this is just magical. You're able to energize the audience in ways that is for me, something that I still cannot grasp, your skill is something to behold and I for one, appreciate that I have seen your talent, you're one blessed individual!!!!

That kinda dedication tooo detail is real impressive & a rare thing that walk's a thin fine line between ambivalent overkill & creative genius thanx again dude.

I'm an old fart now, in my mid 60's but waaaaaay back in my younger days my setup was Roland TR-909, Juno 106, JX3P, Jupiter-6, SH-101. My Yamaha gear was a QX3 sequencer and the first version of the DX-7 and TX81Z to fatten it up a bit. I also had a Electro Harmonix Vocoder. Sadly, they have all been sold, but that is what happens when a baby comes along who has some special needs. BUT, I still love the old analog sound of the synths and really enjoy your music Kebu.

What a wonderful overview, it's so amazing that you are willing to share your knowledge and experience in such an open, spontaneous way. Really refreshing in a world where people start to expect everything to be scripted. I really learned a lot from this video, thanks! PS: I do have one question: you mentioned that your sequencer provides the "backing tracks" via MIDI and I was wondering (as an amateur electronic musician who has never done live before, but one day might): can you say something more about the balance between sequenced and live playing? Do you decide beforehand what parts will be played by the sequencer and which ones you will play yourself? Or do you sequence everything and decide on the spot? Or perhaps you swap with the sequencer the part that you play and the part that it plays mid-song? What about CC? Do.you sequence those and leave them as they are or do you sometimes apply CC's manually to a part that's being played by the sequencer? Too many questions, I know, but if you have 2 mins any thoughts you might have about the general topic would be great to have (maybe in a follow up video?)
@kebu
@kebu Год назад
Thanks! Yes, it's decided beforehand what I will play and what the sequencer will play. I always try to play the part that is the center of focus for that particular section in the song. Sometimes I actually do switch in the middle and let the sequencer continue, as I know exactly where the sequencer takes over. But that looks a bit bad, because it looks like it was the sequencer playing all along. So I try to avoid doing that. There is quite a lot of MIDI automation, since I'm usually busy playing myself. But some parts I do manually, like the Mono/poly break in the middle of Crockett's Theme.
