Whew! It took some work, but the green is gone! Tom said in an interview that for these last two albums (Go Plastic, and Do You Know Squarepusher?) he has finally acquired state of the art gear. This is what I've been able to identify in Squarepusher's live rig so far, from this picture http://www.neoprimitive.net/jlucas/tmp/squarepusher-live.jpg: Eventide Orville Harmonizer PC1600X MIDI Controller Behringer(?) patch bay 2 DAT decks of some make If anybody can identify that piece of knobby gear under the patch bay, I'd like to know what it is. In the second rack, to his left, is just a mixer and another patch bay. If you listen to the live CD from Do You Know Squarepusher? he's just playing back the tracks off the DATs and routing one or another into the Orville and doing some wanky stuff with it. Sometimes it's cool. I like what he does to Boneville Occident; playing back the beginning part at half speed (the Orville must throw everything into a buffer as it comes in to play it back at half speed, but there's got to be a limit to how long that can go on, based on available RAM, since you would be continually piling more stuff up in the buffer, while it is draining out half as fast). Most of the time though, it's like...uh, come on, Tom, pick up the fucking bass. I'm much more interested in what his studio is built of now. Does he really have 15 multi-effects boxes, one for each track, like it sounds, or is he using plugins and automation to make it happen? Can you automate all the functions on any DX plugin? Or does the plugin have to support automation? -J ----- Original Message ----- From: jimfowler To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com Sent: Sunday, March 09, 2003 4:02 PM Subject: Re: Squarepushers breakbeat rig um...actually, tom uses an EVENTIDE ORVILLE in his current rig. what was that you were saying about "not using the most expensive..."? what the hell...everything's green!!! -jim
