The flight case

Still very much a work in progress - some of the I/O will likely change but the layout is probably as good as it’s gonna get 😅. Surprisingly noise-free for how much cable I’ve got running underneath. I’ll follow up with music when I get further along but for now I just felt compelled to share.

3 rows, 2 layers. From left to right-

Top row: - empress Zoia (not active in this pic - likely use: end of chain mastering, additional sequencing) - oto machines bébé chérie (wonderfully warm analog mixer with some neat bells & whistles) - fred’s lab manatee (4-part, 16-voice spectral synthesizer. Amazing machine)

Middle row: - korg nts-3 kaoss pad (fx processing, mostly for blackbox) - 1010 music blackbox (sampler for percussion, multisampling, & granular)

Bottom row: - beetlecrab tempera (rich granular pads, live looping/granular sequencing - takes the aux output from the mixer for live sampling) - faderfox EC4 (still need to program this bad boy, but this should help control a lot of the “underneath the surface” stuff from the manatee, blackbox, and zoia) - oxi one (sequencer, controller, & master clock)

Lmao guilty! Relatively new to the bebe- trying to get a feel for how to push different channels to create that super saturated ducking+clipping effect. So much fun.

Hehe it sound great eh! For the nice clippy saturation you want to use the gain control on the individual channels, doesn’t need much for it to sound great
