Mainly aftereffects.. been using this almost 18 years now. You have the most control with AE over any other program bar none. Photoshop with wheels is what we always called it.

The name is appropriate because pure music has not changed since the begining. The genre is beyond just music. Installations, interactive elements, visualizations, video sampling.. all that stuff.. is NextStep.

Here is something I made around 6 years ago with a friend.. we bounced the music to the video and the video to the music.. old school stuff.. but kind of an idea Ive been getting back into again..

Problem is atm Im working fulltime so Im spending most of my time with elements of different things which later will be combined. Im coming from a MTV background where all of this was just daily work but only for 5-20 second clips. 12 years of MTV and some DMT has warped my view of making generic things. I tend to stay away from the formula which makes things go slower.. And my current job is way to dangerous in terms of time. I can be called at any time of the day or evening .. which never allows me to focus on anything for too long.
This explains everything

how bout......... DIFFERENT!!

what genre do you spin and does this setup leave the house?
Well I dont spin anymore since leaving Berlin. Now Im just producing NextStep.
But in the past mainly dnb/hardcore/gabber/Psy/Grime/Breakcore.

For live music, Ill bring as much as I need for whatever Im doing.. So Maschine/apc40/kore2/launchpad for minimal setup. If I can drive to the venue, then Ill bring Xone 92, Axis 49, and a second launchpad. Last time I played at my friends club in Miami I brought that setup.

Decided to turn one of my EMXs into a PSY only kick drum generator to be filtered in Ableton

regular light

UV light

no light-glow




added the final paint to the tempest... no more than this will make it onto this sick drum machine from hell

OMG that :92!

But on the other side, good for you for doing what you want. It's your hard earned cash, and what you choose to do with what you spend it on is your prerogative.

I seriously almost cried though.

As you can see... It only has a strip of velcro across the logo... I wont be messing with this beyond the custom colored knobs I ordered from DJTT 3 weeks ago.. and am still waiting for them to get the parts

Its hard to describe how nice it is to edit parameters on the Tempest. A bit expensive though... Until I get an interclock box to perfectly sync the tempest with a mac, I will just be sampling the tempest and using to control Modul8

Ill take some more pics tommorrow evening with blacklight flood.

yeah common controls mainly... like LFO rate, LFO amount.. or the whole Attack delay sustain release.... Also color coded stuff like sets of letters on different colors or numbers.. so I can see where the routing is going from APC to Maschine or on the Xone 92. Also have stuff like 1,2 3,4 5,6 so I know which output from my soundcard is on what channel. I modded my xone 92 and removed all the phono preamps so I can have double the amount of line inputs.
This is mainly for a song by song basis when working on a live mixdown... or the basic workflow I keep consistent... I guess the phrase.... Method to the madness applies here.

because all the paint is UV reactive.. its ambient light is enough to see any control in a dark situation. The glow in the dark stuff helps too.
I use a DMXIS USB and a DMX UV LED panel... so the whole thing lights up in time to any channel I need to have it driven from.

I LOL'd when I saw the eyes on your tempest.. that just looks hilarious. Cool setup, sounds like a very complex process..

What are all the labels on the board, you mean like you have velcro labels for controls that you swap out depending on how something is mapped?

Can you take some close ups of the maschine and other gear?

yeah got the Tempest for xmas.. Wanted to have something which bypasses needing a computer to use.
Its all permenant.. the fabric paint.. For me its like the Matrix.. do you take the red pill and just have a generic midi controller that everyone else has which contains no soul. Or do you take the blue pill and add a mix of functionality and form to your controller which creates more of a bond to your instrument and gives it a soul.
I use a velcro system I developed with laminated 9 mil thick plastic labels for every control you ever could hope to use in any DAW. Took me about 2 months, 500$ worth of velcro/ UV labels, and alot of patience. Every label has 8 cuts, 4 for the label, 4 to chamfer the corners so they are not pointed. Ive got 1600+ labels which are categorized and laid out on a wall and in a special velcro patch book system the Military uses.

as far as the LSD arts and crafts.... Well I have a background in art, and pictures can never do it justice, because its all UV reactive and glow in the dark. If you have never touched fabric paint its hard to describe... but its literally hardening into plastic.
The velcro system on the gear has the o2 cut off.. so the velcro wont come off.. plus its industrial strength. This allows me to position my gear in ways you never thought possible. Same idea behind a guitar pedal board

I'm not sure what I'm looking at, what on earth have you done to that hardware and is it permanent? Looks like someone took a bunch of acid and had arts and crafts time.

Also is that a Tempest?
