Gearslutz.com - View Single Post - Laptop for live performance

gilwe · 25th December 2009

I decided to give a chance for using a laptop plus two controller keyboards over my regular hardware setup, which basically includes a Juno 106, A-33 and a rack units consisted of JV2080, DEP5 and a mixer. The main reason is that the specific band use to many specific sounds in their new album, which should rather go from a sampler than from romplers or synths. We will also need to be able to play back a track and to send click to the drummer.

Our first thought was Cubase running either Kontakt or Halion, loaded as one session which has locators between the songs. Click is would be a recorded wav file and switching between the songs would be sending location parameters from the A33 (or simply but clicking a number...)

Which set up would you suggest ?

Thanks !
