Your live setup is pretty interesting to me, I'm a big fan of the VL70M myself. I've recently put together a live system, had the first performance with it a few weeks ago (and if I get time, I'l post mp3's of the show later today). I control the VL and a Nord Micromodular with a Nord Lead, a Kruzweill ExpressionMate ribbon controller and a Peavey PC-1600 midi fader box. The VL is a fascinating instrument, really excels at timbres that sound vaguely acoustic, vaguely alien, but behave like acoustic instruments. I find it's almost impossible to send it too many controllers, I've made patches that use keys, ribbon, breath, footpedals and sliders all affecting the tone, makes playing music feel like juggling! Haven't really programmed any patches for it from the ground up (the software editor is pretty daunting, as well as the amount of acoustic theory needed to really program it) but have edited a number of the factory patches to accept more controllers, and have used Matt Black's Patchman patches for it as well. It's a pretty deep synth, I've had mine for about 3 years and feel like I'm barely scratching the surface with it. ____________________________________________ Dave Trenkel : improv@peak.org New & Improv Media http://www.newandimprov.com Now available: Admiral Twinkle Devil: Wabi Dub ____________________________________________
