Elektron Musical Instruments

As Elektron gear is very live oriented I was wondering who of you 
guy's is doing live sets?
I'm 100% into live now and would like to hear what and how others 
are doing.
I will post some links soon to let you hear what i'm doing.

Ronald.

Nope, only using hardware.
It's more reliable and more fun to work with.(IMO)
I don't like to watch a performance where people are looking 
hypnotised at a laptop all the time.
I once saw a guy at a live contest with only one laptop. He didn't 
look at the crowd once and was only looking at the screen like a 
statue. The people backstage where very dissapointed with this set 
and my friends in the crowd thought he was watching porn while 
playing a CD. 
Would anyone like to be like him?

Also the less you look at screens and make music just by ear, the 
better it will get. Learn to work youre gear/sequencer like an 
instrument itself, you can make a true live performance this way.
I think that elektron gear is perfect for this job.

In that case.. maybe yes :)

We do a 100% hardware live act with a MPC2000xl, x0x and SIDstation with
Sherman FB-1.

Oh baby, I like it raw!

nope. I'm fairly new to playing electronic music and although I enjoy
some of the laptop jockeys' music , I think it's an incredibly boring
thing to do live. therefore, I'm trying to stay away from it as much as
I can. that's not too difficult because whenever I've tried softsynths (and
even soft sequencers), I've been happy with the sound results but I
tire of the creation method very quickly and I'm right back to hardware.

agreed. "playing" is actually a valid verb to proceed "Machinedrum."

You can hear an old live set (jan-2002?) at:

lol...... well..... a little like him....

RDJ did a show one time where he just cued up his tracks on his laptop, 
pressed play, and then battled people from the crowd onstage on Sonic the 
Hedgehog over a projection screen.  Sorry.... that rocks like birds!

that is quite awesome. it would be cooler if there were some interaction
between the game-playing and the music. like if somehow the game were to
affect the sequencing or something.

Thanks for sharing your music.
Didn't know they hosted such long files.
Hadn't much time to listen the complete performance with full 
attention but skipping through it I liked what I heared very much!
Did you build the arrangement with mutes and pattern switching or 
did you also use step record?
Sounded a bit like FSOL, intended?

Ronald.

Thank YOU, my friend! I'm glad you like it.

Yeah, it was all patterns that I muted and switched
(actually, you can hear I switched on the wrong
pattern a couple of times, eh eh), twisted some knobs
and added some stuff on the run.

No. But Thankz!
