the goal is always less gear to haul along so basically you need at least
two things: 1) a sequencer 2) a sound module (but they can be combined!)
our current live setup consists of more than this because we're spread out
between two studios ... but here's the current rig for live stuff
MPC 2000 sequencer/sampler
MPC 3000 sequencer/sampler
Juno 60
Nord Modular
Quadraverb GT efx
MoogerFooger LPF
Waldorf 4-pole LPF
Alesis 3630 Compressor
Hohner Melodica
Shure SM57 Microphone
Mackie 1202 mixer (though we have to move up to a bigger one real soon)
it sounds like a lot but the biggest stuff is the juno and the two MPCs.
everything else is small enough to fit on a table or in a rack. getting a
portable rack is really helpful, i wish i had a rackmounted mixer too but
c'est la vie.
mainly we decided we wanted to play out so we figured out what our live
rig was and wrote all new material around the live rig ... we use the two
MPCs because one can be loading up samples while the other is playing or
we can just duel :)
of course we're completely overboard on the live rig compared to blokes
like lexaunculpt who just brings the PowerBook
basically i guess the answer is to just figure out what you're comforatble
hauling to the gig and go from there.

> as an "electronic musician" i work mainly out of my home studio. i am beginning to explore the realm of paying live, and it has confounded me for a long time how people pull it off. i usually cant see beyond bringing half my equipment, setting it up and pressing "play". maybe twisting a few knobs. anyone familiar with some different techniques they could share?
