Yes, you can place it in the kitchen for the time being. Thank you.
What's that big white thing with the sliders?
It looks like something from the Tardis

It's 106 miles to Chicago.
We got a full tank of gas,
half a pack of cigarettes.
It's dark and we are wearing sunglasses

Big white thing is a Macbeth M5N. It's layout is reminiscent to an ARP 2600 but I'm not sure how the two compare. Sadly, I've never played with one.Timbob wrote:Yes, you can place it in the kitchen for the time being. Thank you.

Re: Orbital's Live Rig (news page)
I've got the fear! I don't recognise half of this gear! Where has it all gone? Where are the MMT8's? Aaaaargh!
*Phew*
Well, there not having their Korg back. Or the little Mackie. Those are MINE now.

Nice pic of the Alesis A6 Andromeda. I think getting rid of the MMT's is going to help their live performance. Using Ableton LIVE is going to open up a lot of possibilties for them. They're not stuck with the typical song structure. I hope that with the new live set up and the fact that they're playing live again for the first time in 5 years, that they'll be more experimental and groove more. Maybe "do more with less", in that they can tweak sounds out more, or use more fileters, delays etc... I know they did that on some songs before, but it was usually pretty straight forward. I'd love to hear them jam with the beat & bassline and a simple melody and tweak those out and then worry about composing a "song" like on the record out of it. Example : Way Out --> Spare Parts when the use the filter on the snare going from one song to the next.
Either way, I'm excited to hear what they'll come up with .

Re: Orbital's Live Rig (news page)
For those who are interested and who haven't ID'd the gear yet, I've spotted the following:
Roland Jupiter 6
TB-303
Moog Voyager RME
Alesis Andromeda (x2)
Elektron Sidstation
Roland SH-101
Elektron Machinedrum
Alesis SR-16
Jazzmutant Lemur (possibly for clip launch in Live?)
Roland SH-2
Macbeth M5N
TR-909
Can't ID the mixer or another tabletop looking synth to the right of the 909 in the last photo (even though it looks familiar)
Carry on...

Looks like an electribe
Re: Orbital's Live Rig (news page)
i think what ever style of performance they choose jammy or songy, using a laptop with live and lemurs to trigger clips is infinitely more open than 3 mmt8s which were great in there time but technology has moved on quite a bit in 20 years! to suggest it wont be 'as live ' would imply that they will be doing it in arrange mode but as they never used the song mode on the mmt8's live i don't see why they wouldn't just use the clip launch page in abelton via the lemur as a control which works brilliantly. guess we'll find out in a few weeks any way!
