Live audio-visual hybrid set-up custom cases walkthrough by Movement81 Movement81 2024-07-09 | Movement81 Live AudioVisual Hybrid setup: Custom-made Cases explained!Lots of people have commented on our cases and often ask how they work. So we finally made a brief explainer! In this video we walk you through our bespoke cases, designed for live audiovisual sets. The cases were made to streamline the process of performing live, they pack away neatly and allow for minimal patching and fuss when arriving at venues - and they’re easy to setup in the studio when we get home from a gig. Becky’s case was built to house three rows of Eurorack Modular, an Elektron Digitone, an Arturia Beatstep Pro, Mixer, Mac mini and iPad, and Jason’s has three rows of Eurorack Modular, an MPC Live, Akai MidiMix, APC Mini Controller, and a Behringer UMC22 audio interface.Having just returned from performing, this video shares the post-gig process. We unpack the cases and talk a bit about how we get everything connected, setting up a network using MIDI to keep audio and visuals in sync across the two cases.Stay tuned for more explainers or let us know in the comments what you want to see next! We’re hoping to do more in the next few months including a run-through of our Eurorack Modular gear, audiovisual syncing/clip triggering using Resolume and MIDI, hooking up projectors or anything else anyone wants to know more about!Links below to some of the gear used (including some Amazon Affiliate links) - always check your local seller first to see if they sell something that’ll do the job just as well!Anker PowerExpand 7-in-1 USB-C Media Hubamzn.to/4cNuONTTP-LINK Portable 3G/4G Wireless Routeramzn.to/3XUFTI0Thunderbolt 3 USB-C Fast Charging Cable - 100W 40Gbps Data Transfer - 3FTamzn.to/45Z52mRBehringer UMC22 USB audio interfaceamzn.to/4bBecr7Fluorescent tape (handy in low light)amzn.to/3BPjltOYAM Air for iPad:apps.apple.com/gb/app/yam-air-desk-second-display/id1553598482?mt=12You’ll also need YAM Display for Mac:yamdisplay.comIKEA Adils Table Legsikea.com/gb/en/p/adils-leg-black-70217973/#content
Movement81 / Hardware Jams / Funk Challenge / Exit Movement81 2024-06-09 | Not sure how 'funky' this is :D - started out funky enough but then kind of took a different turn. Got the trusty cases back in action now the EMOMs are done for a while, so more modular in this jam.
Movement81 / Hardware Jams / 3 Body Problem Nano Challenge Movement81 2024-05-12 | 4 sine waves with LFOs micro tuning 2 of them for one line. Then 2 more more multi-oscillator with random LFO micro tuning (why it all sounds so out of tune) Then some bass and drums on the MPC with detuned pads on the Digitone and a sequence from the Metropolis on Plaits (which is always out of tune anyway) some LFO on the harmonics and into the Nano Filter

Movement81 / Hardware Jams / 3 Body Problem Challenge / Internal Movement81 2024-05-04 | A few LFOs doing different things here. We got a new NiftyCASE so we can put the modular back into an EMOM set up and have the MFB dual LFO modulating the sequence in the Metropolix so that it changes octave randomly. Also LFO into Plaits Harmonics and a slow LFO into the Font filter. The rest is on the MPC Live and the Digitone, with Ableton sending a midi channel to the NiftyCASE to transpose the sequence.

STROBE WARNING! Movement81 / Hardware Jams / 303 Challenge / Minus Movement81 2024-03-02 | STROBE WARNING!!New jam version of a track we did for a live set in Greenworks, Bristol.

Samples are from a 90's rave in Bristol with some Swansea-based DJs and MCs.

Movement81 / Hardware Jams / 7 Cables Challenge / Spatial Movement81 2024-02-18 | Managed to get a jam done just about. We have been so busy, it's been difficult to fit one in, so glad to get this done.7 cables?!!MIDI from the MPC to Digitone and the Beatstep Pro = 2 cables (although this is one split MIDI cable)Audio from MPC, Digitone and Plaits = 3 cablesThen a trigger from the BSP to Abacus cycle which is sending to Plaits Harmomics = 2 cables.Plaits is ungated and going straight from its output to the mixer, manually playing a phaser effect on the mixer on that channel only as we didn't have enough cables to use the DSP (effects) module!
Movement81 / Hardware Jams / Fast Challenge / 195bpm / Silver Movement81 2023-12-03 | Got up to 195bpm and got the speed wobble. No cases, no modular, just the Digitone and MPC Live on the sofa.
