Had the BOUM for one week now and have to admit that with the right settings it smokes my RLNA+Sidechain HPF Combo for Live use. I mostly make Live 140BPM techno with my partner and it just adds that grit and glue I need. Had an idea for a modular "mastering" chain with a stereo eq, messor comp and some saturation/distortion but I would cost twice as much than the BOUM here in Europe.

Hi Ricky, I have a perfect solution for you on how to use Sp404 mk2. Load it with multiple long ambient/organic samples, like rain, cityscape, people talking and just some fooley noises. Those samples can be even up to 1hour long if I'm not mistaken. Than you set the pads to loop mode without gate, trigger all of them to keep them running, and just mute them all. This way you get a free running noise machine. Now you can solo/unmute the pads you want to use, and you use the isolator of filter to slowly mix them in and out. In other words, it's a perfect tool for adding organic noises of the track intro/outro sections, or when all other parts are filtered down. Organic stuff like this will also make your set much more interesting. It's super easy to setup, so just give it a quick try. Good luck :)

Just a tip about trigless program changes. I would set it's condition to 1st so it triggers only once when the pattern changes. It seems that it is not an issue with PEAK but I had a synth which would reset a preset with every loop of a pattern. And that's a problem if You want to change parameters of a synth manually on the fly.

Hey Ricky I think it's awesome how you split the melodies up with the midi tracks on the Digitakt. Because I have been doing that ever since I got the Digitakt with my Tetra. Provided the melody is within 4 voice polyphony which is no issue for me. Also multi-timbral synths are a powerful combo with the Digitakt sequencer. There's nothing like having literally 4+ synthesizer from one box.

As a midi controller for the OT, you can also play keys in scales for your peak. And you can create crazy 64 sound sample chains on the OT. Highly recommend!

That's a really nice and compact setup! Thanks for sharing. Here's something that's helped me overcome the 16 banks in OT vs 8 banks in DT scenario (as long as you use 8 patterns or less per track). Once you get to Bank I (9) in OT, it restarts to A in DT. By using patterns 1-8 in banks A-H and ptns 9-16 in banks I-P, you can structure a set of up to 16 tracks using the OT as master, making the most out of parts in banks in the OT.

Thanks for making such a detailed video on the specifics of your live setup! Regarding your thoughts on the sp4040. I use a korg mini kaosspad2 for a similar end of chain effect, and I get where you are coming from wrt. whether something like that is a bit overdone and grating. From seeing this video, I think you probably have a huge effective vocabulary of transitions just with reverb, delay, feedback, patch changes and mutes of samples, synth, and drum parts. So there is probably a lot to be gained from pracilticing different ways of speaking with that vocabulary. I find I use the korg mkp2 mainly as an emergency transition machine when I am getting ahead of myself, so for me it is still super important to feel safe with a go to effect when performing. But I don't see it as necessarily contributing anything too interesting or something that is essential to the music I like to perform.

But when it comes to MIDI control and general sequencing, I really don't get why Elektron still goes for all these arbitrary restrictions in 2022...

Great video this week! That live set sounds SO TASTY! How do we get you to NYC to play this out for us live? On the subject of the 404: I bought the MK2 and sold it a few months later. It's obvious to me now how a whole scene grew up around it, but the lo-fi aesthetic and effects palette doesn't feel that fresh anymore. Plus, Roland has recently been baking a lot of the same effects into its other units, so, for example, I get my 404 vinyl sim, and some 303 reverbs from my TR8s. The 404 effects are nice but I wouldn't bring one to a set just as an effects box. Besides, you can build a beat repeat on the Octatrack with a pickup track and a random LFO... BTW Much love to those compact creations videos you used to make - they gave me the blueprint! My live setup these days is an Octatrack, the TR8s, and an optional "guest synth" that changes from show to show...

RNLA has been a secret for a long time.. damn you 😭🤣. Also I'm sure you're aware, but there are parts on the octatrack that can be set per-pattern.. I use 4 patterns per part by default, so can put 4 different "songs" per bank, or have 4 different part settings per song. If you save a default part in the last bank, I'm pretty sure (from memory) you can copy a "template" back when needed.

Less is more. Especially with dance music. No need for beat repeat fx imo. I'd say your setup is complete. I know the feeling on stage when you want to tweak around with fx and stuff but most of the time it doesn't help the music. I'd say concentrate on a few changes in your tracks and ín between just have a good time and vibe and/or dance to the music. It took me a while to put my hands off the knobs on stage. I was glued to the machines and couldn't really enjoy the liveset. And i'm still struggling a bit. :) Sometimes i still feel lazy on stage because i don't tweak around all the time. But if the music is good enough (and in your case i'd say it is) then the people will enjoy it and appreciate it even more if you are relaxed and having fun on stage.

I would say if you're not reliant on the sp 404 FX as the main "performative" aspect of the set, then bring it. It can't hurt to have a back up set of FX to do an easy transition if something goes wrong. I.e. If my reverb starts feedbacking into some other effect and I'm panicking live trying to figure out how to transition out of the mistake, then I could quickly slap a 404 FX on and transition to the new song. But if you're comfortable with the other gear and don't ever use the over saturated SP 404 FX, then no need to lug it around. Another example, on DJ mixers you have the filter sweep knob that every one uses way too much. So it's not necessary of course, but it is there if you start train wrecking :)
