My brother Mike has posted about Thursday’s THroNG session here, including excerpts one, two and three.
Two of the rigs are using MIDI Designer extensively. Here’s a photo of my drum rig (with Chris Dragotta in the background):
I’m using MIDI Designer 1.3.1, in conjunction with a Line6 FBV Shortboard Mark II (via USB -> Wifi -> MIDI Designer) to control my “rig” in Ableton Live 8. In this jam, I’m using three Korg Wavedrums and one Native Instruments Battery instance as the sound sources. These go through a a mix of Ableton and Guitar Rig effects (using lots of cool signal routing, of course). I’m also using my own custom “lookahead loopers” which use Ableton’s Simple Delay and track routing (trick: a track that feeds back when you turn the looper on).
The other rig is Mike’s guitar setup. Tonight we’ll be going over that setup and incorporating a BCR2000, via the pedalboards feature, with MIDI Designer. The exciting thing is that the BCR2000 is two-way MIDI, so… this’ll be very cool. Photos and/or videos soon!
