ER-1 + KP3 (live)

Excerpt from a streaming live May 28th. This live actually lasted an hour (this video is excerpt from 25:00 to 35:00). I was endlessly repeating edit-sample-overdub loops.

This rig (ER-1 + KP3) is what someone called "poorman's Machinedrum UW". It looks a bit cheap, but very enjoyable gears...

"This rig (ER-1 + KP3) is what someone called "poorman's Machinedrum UW""

who the fuck says that? thats what i hate about machinedrum elitists. they think a md makes them automatically good and validated as an electronic musician. bunch of bullshit.

it doesnt matter if its "cheap" gear or not. its about music creation and denkitribe you're awesome at that!

where can I get the full live set? I looove that shit!!!

[mijnlabel]

Goe bezig! Nice stuff!!

[chronophagia]

only stuck up assholes use the term "poorman's" in the first place. It's their way of convincing themselves that what they have is better and simultaeously making themselves feel better about having spent so much money. You nailed it, John, it is about creativity.  Anyone who can't see that is missing out on the very stuff of life.

I owned a Machinedrum. Its perhaps the most expensive, useless, over-hyped, over-priced box of rubbish ever!!!!!

it could do with being shorter.. or i need to get higher. Akai mpcs blow this shit out of the water

@ohsnapitzjohn I agree and I do have the MDUW.. I love the elektribes. They are fun and have a lofi sound that is just great. Plus they are cheap. The MD is something else entirely for me. Its a great controller and sophisticated particularly with the parameter locks and sequencing features. But sound wise they are kinda apples and oranges to me aiming for different stuff.

I dunno, man. this is kinda...really boring. This drum machine is an incredible tool, capable of much more than what it has in this video been induced to do. And the kaoss pad does just about nothing. Personally, i have had no luck in manipulating my electribes output on the kp to end up with something that wasnt just plain irritating. I was kind of hoping someone else had. No such luck here...

there's nothing cheap about this gear....

kaoss pad 3 costs like $300

im not so sure about er-1...im guessing it's part of the electribe production family so it must be pretty pricy

[MrOwlyOwl]

Woo, good stuff. Sounds very Autechre like!

[cartesiaLive]

I miss the squibly sound of my ER-1mk2... I guess my ES-1mk2 with ER-1 samples is almost as good :D

Don't forget to get a MIDI cable too. Consult the manuals for both devices and do this: First, make sure both devices are on the same MIDI channel. I'd set the kp3 as the master clock (the kp3 tends to drift out of alignment less when it's the master) so connect the kp3 MIDI out to the EA MIDI in. Of course, also feed the EA 1/4" audio outs into the kp3 RCA ins with the cable JL Woods mentions.
