Octave One reveal their favorite gear for live techno
The Detroit natives prep for a major slot at Movement
4. Dave Smith Instruments Tetra
A very versatile and compact analog synthesizer. Four voices that can be setup as four separate mono synths or four voice synths capable of playing chords or as a powerful unison. It's great for leads, additional bass, and a host of other sounds.
5. Roland VP9000
More than just a sampler, this unit syncs loops and phrases to midi clock and well as allows you to manipulate these same loops and phrases in many different ways that can bring life to a static sample. It has 6 audio outputs with great converters that are clear, loud, and punchy.
To see the ‘Love by Machine’ live show and the Burden brothers in action, catch Octave One performing on the Star Gate stage at Movement on May 27. View 2017 schedule here
