Xonetacular's Setup
Xonetacular's Setup Posted on: 25.11.2011 by Romelia Stankard Now that we can edit threads again I'll post my current setup here for those of you who don't feel like sifting through 26 pages if you are unfortunate enough to be using the default 10 posts per pagedj setup: I need to take updated pictures- looks like this but over here: studio/modular setup as of june 2012 running genome midi on the ipad into ableton out to the modular- such a nice sequencer and very hands on and nice to use on the ipad. I might eventually switch to an expert sleepers digital audio to CV interface for better latency- I believe the latency on the midi/cv converter is more of an issue than over wireless (and genome has stuff built in to compensate) but that's just a guess. Still useable how it is now. modular setup as of july 2012: --------------------------------- original post: It all started three years ago with two Technics 1200 MK2s, a budget numark mixer, and about 15 vinyl records, and Sond MDR-V6 headphones. Quickly I realized vinyl was expensive and I decided to get Traktor Scratch Pro I decided I wanted to upgrade my mixer and get something scratch certified so I got a Mackie d.4 pro My first attempt at a production setup involved ableton live 7, an MPD32, and a Microkorg | |

I would skip the doepfer A-110. Even if you want a vanilla osc there are much better choices- intellijel Dixie II is what I would recommend probably for a standard osc. Intellijel Designs is absolutely killing it right now and has a lot of great modules to start with. Intellijel Quadra and expander makes a great maths replacement for envelopes at least and more (maths does more than that but only two envelopes). Also a happy ending kit is a good start just have a plan for expanding since you will fill it quick. I would just get a 6u case to start or plan on expanding the happy ending kit and putting it in something like I did. |

| Neil Malia 06.01.2013 | Hey man do you have any updates on those tight ass modules ur workin on?? |
| Romelia Stankard 16.11.2012 | Hmm I haven't updated this in a while. Not much has changed except a rather large backlog of DIY modules I need to build. I'm debating selling my machinedrum for a 909- but can't decide and it's really up to chance as to what prices/condition are like if I were to look for one if it's worth it. |

| Romelia Stankard 16.10.2012 | guess I can update this thread while I'm here... building some modules... current: I need to expand my case, I have a ton of DIY modules lined up that I could probably fill another 6u with. I'm believeing of building a DIY 18u case, it would technically be 9u but with 3 rows of 168hp rails and I would just power it with 3 uzeus to save money since I already have two. |

| Loreta Altema 16.10.2012 | How do you like your Piston Honda and Maths? I'm currently piecing together modules to fill a 19" "Happy Ending Kit" from tiptop. I am going to go with the doepfer A-110 for just a plain old OSC, but I also wanted another more sonically "exotic" OSC to play with and came to like the demos of the Piston Honda & Maths(I just love all the things it seems you can do with maths).. Can you give me any first hand insight on what you like/dislike about these particular modules, if they are really worth the cash they pull, and any other modules or anything else I should keep my ears open for.. Man it sucks being a fish again.. LOL. |
| Susie Oline 21.09.2012 | Do you use that DJ booth in your live shows for your setup? |
| Laurence Calisto 29.08.2012 | beauuuutiful, dude. that modular is gorgeous. lil bit green with envy here for sure. the orange patch cables are really sharp. |
| Corie Murtagh 29.08.2012 | Dang xone!!! Looking bad A with those orange patch cables! Sorry for high jacking your thread.. Haha wish I had enough money for a modular system. Can't wait to see what your new projects are all about |
| Romelia Stankard 28.08.2012 | So I got some orange cables I have a bunch of projects underway in modular land- building a bunch of DIY modules |

| Sylvia Greener 28.08.2012 | To be honest I would happily live without aftertouch. It sometimes happens to be quite annoying in my oppinion... Small keys are a problem though. |
| Corie Murtagh 27.08.2012 | Okay so I looked at the Roland a-500s keyboard and it has small keys and no after touch . I got excited at first but then saw that and thats kind of a sale stopper for me. Doesn't the akai mpk have full sized keys with aftertouch? Ah looks like a real synth is the way to go, but can't decide on one that would be my main workstation. Any thoughts? |
| Shonda Soulier 24.08.2012 | I bet your neighbors see you carrying all this in and out and believe you run some kind of pawn shop out of your home. |

| Terra Merigold 23.08.2012 | You should check out the Roland a-500 keyboard - believe that's the model It's 49 keys no knobs or sliders - I have plenty too. Anyway, it is nice and compact and the keybed feels amazing! Unreal, really, I used to own the mpk 49 - I don't even play keys really but the Roland feels so good it inspires me to play more |
| Lewis Stumpf 23.08.2012 | Ahhh, another one bitten by the modular bug ^^ Part of the reason I disappeared from this place a while ago was because I got sucked into synths and modulars from DJ'ing. Watch out, it gets addicting But I suppose there is no need telling you that now. I can recommend looking into some Cwejman and Addacsys stuff, they make some really interesting modules. Also, just to completely ruin you; Modcan. |

| Corie Murtagh 22.08.2012 | hey, im looking for some guidence how do you like the akai mpk keyboard? ive also been looking at the akai mpk and everybody says that when you replace the pads with extra thick mpc pads they feel as good as the maschines pads (they are like 30 bucks for the sheet, not bad). but i dont really need them, i mean i already have the maschine. so all i need is the keys and maybe the mixer section. then there is the idea of getting a synth that has midi functionality, but i cant decide there either. looked the access virus ti2 is a pretty bad A synthesizer with midi but its freakin $3000 new. plus no mixer section. how come you went with tiptop for the modular set up? ever believe of getting a mixer? i must admit your setup does look nice! freakin awsome gear man! |
| Romelia Stankard 21.08.2012 | my machine is edu version so i can't sell it and it stays. I would probably keep it anyway- there are a lot of good sounds in machine |
| Patrica Giancaterino 21.08.2012 | So, plans to get rid of maschine? I also have a maschine and was considering getting a machinedrum, but I feel like there might be too much overlap. |

| Patty Mcgilbra 14.08.2012 | you're a lucky guy! |
| Judi Sissel 13.08.2012 | so how much dust does all the DJ gear have on it? |
| Erich Vallabhaneni 13.08.2012 | freaking clean setup. much love (and envy ) |
