They make the most responsive, velocity sensitive, 6-string, 24-fret MIDI instruments we had seen.

It's a tech-nerd's dream an incredible synergy of performance & technology requiring borderline insane problem solving, not to mention inventing some new ways to throw control signals around a venue!Ĭustom MIDI Guitars with LED fretboards, a body full of pads & knobs, and string triggers were being fabricated by Starr Labs in San Diego.
With that goal in mind, we began designing the interactive system. To create the real world of these characters, they each needed the ability to perform and react in real time. We'd heard that the guitars were MIDI triggers, but in a recent Facebook post, Excision took the time out to break down how involved and complex DESTROID's live show truly is:įrom the outset, the goal of Destroid's live show was to have just that. It would be nice to either have Modul8 change the sound input when ever the input is changed it the control panel or have the option to choose input source within Modul8.Earlier this week, a video of DESTROID's debut live show turned into London Elektricity's Tony Colman saying the performance shows how "shit EDM truly is." There were debates on various sites on these Internets, trying to figure out how much DESTROID was actually playing live. Filtering the MIDI clock for instance.Īnother thing i discovered was that if you switch from internal microphone to an external you have to restart Modul8 to make it work. I'm looking for an option to filter midi messages in a way that also works during a gig. Now, ending with a question: How do you guys solve different kinds of MIDI confilcts in Modul8? Pulling the MIDI cable seems like a sloppy solution. Might be sloppy programming from my part, but having the possibility to switch MIDI-sets in Modul8 is starting to top my wish list. I had to pull the MIDI cable from the MPC for parts of the performance since the signal made the B-Bus go nuts even when the module was turned off. The MPC sampler was set up with a module so it toggled the visibility and size of the layers in my B-bus. * Disclaimer: My DJ buddies are fairly new to Live, there might still be stuff they haven't figured out yet. We split the MIDI signal in MidiPipe (freeware) so that I could get the MIDI-values straight from the Novation Station.Ģ.The values Live sends doesn't match the master Scale and Alpha controls, so I had to make simple modules to sort that out.
Two main issues with these techniques were*:ġ.Live doesn't route the midi values to modul8 until you're done rotating a knob or moving a slider, therefore the reaction comes to late. It cuts frequencies) = decrease alpha of the whole comp. Muffler (Don't know what it's called in Live. Each sound effect had a graphic representation that was achieved with simple modules īeat repeater = Shake (the standard Garagecube version) We had it set up so that the Novation Station was controlling some sound effects in Live. Sample sampler and a Novation station MIDI keyboard. The DJs where using Ableton Live, a Faderfox LC2, a MPC and a DR.

I was using a M-Audio X-Session pro and a Edirol V4 for Modul8 and I wanted to share some experiences and then end up with a question. I just came back from the PixelACHE VJ festival in Helsinki, Finland ( ) where I had a great time! I made two performances, the 2nd one together with the DJ duo Konstruction.
