here is what the page says in the upper right corner
1. ABLETON
“The
show revolves around Ableton Live software on custom made
super-computers, which we remotely access and control with Behringer
BCR2000 midi controllers.” (for those not familiar with Ableton,
there’s a really good tutorial DVD available quite cheaply – view here)
2. SCREENS
“Next
to the ethernet remote computer screens there are four Minimoog
Voyagers, the classic analog synthesizers. They’re a 30-year old
design.”
3. MOOGS
“We can mix, shuffle, trigger loops,
filter, distort samples, EQ in and out, transpose or destroy and
deconstruct synth lines. We keep some surprises on the side too!”
4. VISUALS
“There’s
a direct connection between our rig and the lights and visuals of the
show. The light and video engineers can also add or control layers
during the show.”
5. SYNTHS
“Inside the pyramid are
synthesizers and remote controls connected to the rest of the music
equipment and computers, which are in rack-mounted towers off stage.”
6. TEAMWORK
“Working
the music equipment, lighting and video equipment, and building the
pyramid for each show takes around 10 people, including both of us.”
Not
mentioned in the original Mixmag article, an important component of
Daft Punk’s live setup is the fantastic Jazz Mutant Lemur. The Lemur is
an innovative input device to control computer real-time applications.
It combines a distinctive industrial design, a brilliant modular
graphic interface concept, and a unique and patented touchscreen
technology that can track multiple fingers simultaneously. |
