Another live set I've been working on. It's basically a 20-minute rhapsody that I wrote via sequencer.

Gear:
- Squarp Pyramid - the main sequencer in the center. The buttons I'm pressing on the Pyramid toggle individual patterns of 1-2 instruments each with a short (usually 4 to 8 bar) riff. I really like my Pyramid as it allows for fun ways to perform live sequencing. There are 16 patterns (white buttons) x 4 banks, totaling 64 different patterns, which basically allows me to write 4 to 5 songs per project file and play them seamlessly.

- Maschine+ - mostly as a synth and drum machine, far left. I'm aware that it is also capable of sequencing, but it's kind of weak. Time signatures are limited to even numbers (e.g. 2/4, 4/4, etc.), so you can't do fun stuff like 5/4. You can do triplets, but it's kind of a dumb workaround imo. Also, I really hate the menu diving with respect to sequencing.

- Roland JX-08 - love this little boutique synth I recently got, far right. It's multitimbral (2 synths via 2 MIDI channels) and polyphonic, and really fun to mess with the faders and switches live. It's responsible for a lot of the retro sounds.

- Arturia Minibrute 2 - not shown in this video because it's right under the camera, but I primarily use it as a bass since it's monophonic.
