The Live Set: Part 6

Written by Bjorn Vayner

This video is just a quick glance at how my setup has progressed.

The actual musical part is still very minimal. This is mostly due to the fact that I have rebuilt the set a few times so far.

I've made some bigger songs in the other sets but I have to port them over to the current set.

The Live Set part 6 from Bjorn Vayner on Vimeo.

Go to the Vimeo page if you wish to download an HD version of this video.

In order to keep this interesting for people who aren't using Live in the same manner as I am, I will feature some other Live sets in this series too.

First up is Esben Schack, a Live performer from Copenhagen.

The following video is a recording made about 20 days before I met Esben last year. Up until then, Machinate worked on the technical bits of this Live setup. For about 5 months after that, the three of us worked on solving problems and coming up with ways to handle various audio effects and looping scenarios.

I recently received a question about looping that I should have been able to answer, yet I couldn't because I forgot a lot of the little details and tweaks we made to make it all work.

We're a year later now. I am going back to Copenhagen to visit Esben Schack and will try to document as much of his Live set as possible. I know its more interesting than mine. And I am going to use some tricks in my own Live set that were originally figured out for Schack. We might as well get to this tricks in a different Live set.

Anyway, here is the video. You'll find many more recent videos if you do a search on youtube. But nothing that really explains how his set really works.

Since this is my first comment here I'd like to say thank you for this great blog. I learn something new every time I come here. I'm also looking forward to a video about Esbens setup. He's doing fantastic stuff.

all the best,
Axel

Thanks Bjorn for your hard work and generosity. I finally got around to configuring V 1.2 today and getting it working. The only thing I'm noticing that's not happening for me is that the buttons do not light up red on the BCR Performer screen like they do in your video. Any ideas why not? Otherwise, I'm now looking forward to using this gem...a lot...and paying you back by buying some more CovOps wares.

You have to manually refresh the preset. After you toggle a button, reload the same preset you're in. That'll update the buttons to the red color.

This app used to have an auto refresh but it was a bit too glitchy. I may come up with another solution for a future version though. Thats the joy of patching in Max, you always pick up new stuff.

Cheers
