Minilogue: Setup
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 лип 2024
- Minilogue's studio is surrounded by serene nature outside of Malmö, Sweden. It's here that Sebastian Mullaert and Markus Henriksson compose their lush, evolving techno suites with a variety of hardware and software - with Live at the center of each musician's setup. In the video below, Sebastian gives us an overview of Minilogue's technology.

I'm going to be honest, I didn't know minilogue was also a band. I kept waiting for them to showcase the Korg Minilogue and how to control it in Live using the mixer midi CC. That is a BOSS settup though. Will look up more of this band :)
no idea about these guys.. but one thing i respect.. .- the patience to connect that playing live..
I like the birds in the backround
Thanks for taking the time of explaining the signal flow and how the setup works. Very generous I find.
What an inspiring setup! It makes so much sense, I love it.
Very cool!
And superbly explained. So clear and I like their approach.
Of course very nice sounds too.
This kind of music has to sound like it just "happens".
I don't want to hear some pretentious virtuoso showing off what great creative guy he is. I want to hear something that is so well-thought and sensitively prepared that it sounds like an acoustic garden with splendid colorful plants in it, growing and flourishing.
This is exactly what Minilogue does, and having seen this vid, I can better understand what kind of preparation is needed to make something that sounds as natural as this music.
Minimal isn't about *showing* skills and ideas, it's about creating a magic atmosphere. If you cant't feel it, let go. But you might be able to accept that people who like and know this kind of sound think Minilogue to be amongst the best of all times.
Thanks for that. This looks like a very musically intelligent setup, and what we hear of your music on this video has a lightness and aliveness that I rarely hear in sequenced electronic music.
Besides the great setup, I love the studio room! So much inspiration there. Great.
OMG, the SH-101 sounds Sooooo good! I love the way he controls the MIDI with the 808. What a tricked out setup. Me want!
GODDD SERIOUSLY. THAT 101 HAS A NICE SMOOTH SOUND. really dope setup.
it blew my mind
2.50: "I don't really know what's analog and digital". Excellent. This is what I've found running my (much more modest) setup. Keep it up gentlemen!
Amazing space to work in
Beautiful setups for both these guys!!!
Wow! ... really utilizing how it can be done nowadays... thanks a ton for explaining your amazing setup!
Intimidating setup my man, I would be overwhelmed, your music is brilliant, some of the best electronic music in the world. 😺
That is totally the coolest thing ever!! If I had something like that....I don't know if I'd ever leave.
That 101 sound is awesome, and was a good idea to use stompboxes with different instruments! 👍👌
This room is like a freakin wet dream.
its a wet idiot dream, you dont need most of that hardware crap these days
Perfect example of "Call and Response" ❤
Great stuff i love these guy's philosophical creative methodology.
This is amazing these guys rock.... what a setup...
I'm telling you! This is pure funkin' gold!
Cool setups! Which can really baffle us old school analog dudes, but I still like the capacity of the many sound options:)
I'm on one keyboard, one screen, and two speakers. This video is intemidating.
thats really all you need, all that hardware is redundant these days.
It's all a bit daft and the music's a bit 'lite', but there's something essentially nice about what they're doing. Well intentioned. That's more important than people generally think, in my view.
Wow amazing setup!
Also an inspiring way to collaborate with a partner(s). Thanks also for the thorough crystal clear explanation.
Just thinking about the mapping required for this set up makes my head hurt.
It's more like Frankenstein's Mad Lab than a musical studio. On one hand I think it's cool, the other, I think of disconnecting and moving this sprawl of spaghetti is a nightmare. I love the ingenuity and cringe as the complexity also hurts my yearn for order and organization!
Wow! I wish I had the time to do that!!! Excellent.
just get a midi controller some free VSTs and a laptop, and you can
very informative and inspiring feature, please more of the same ableton!
my god, the view at 15:45, like a space ride through Swedish botanic paradise ;) big fan of that ACME clock device (I'd imagine that is a vital piece of kit, for its accuracy). Nice one Ableton. Thanks. I'm 5 hours north of these two ;)
holy geekgasm. this is amazing.
Fortunately the quality of a music piece is not proportional to the means used to create it... Art is not technologie but feelings. That's why no machine can make art by itself, feelings are only create by human beings. (for art, else I'm sure some animals have feelings too).
Most beautiful pieces of Bach can often be played with 2 fingers. He used to say, "music is easy, you just have to push the right key at the right moment" :-) All the problem is to chose the right key and the right moment ! And for that, no matter the size and number of your synths...
Totally agree watch the related video to this. Says the same thing. Same guys!
I have a feeling that Bach would love these guys...
Marko Nakić me too!
what a nice little office :D

Coke is a great drug huh
Nice setup!
I'm new to the whole 'synth' game, all of this equipment is making my brain hurt in the most beautiful way.. my inner geek is hungry, so many possibilities.
super work!!
Wow! Genius'. I'd be lost trying to use all that equip in one session; especially performing live!
So much respect for those guys. Look at the place they build up, settle in the middle of nature. Checkt out him (Sebastian Mullaert) playing with Eitan Raiter too
beautiful set up and where is some life in this dude , and the dialouge puts you to sleep as well , superbly great ,but come on dude , make music with the gadgets not gadgets making music alone ,do you even play or just a hi tech wiring geek that preaches boringness, but i love it tho , please put some humanism into the ability and your delivery about the gear come on dude ,this is earth not the matrix ,liven the experience and capability of what this display of ability is ,and pease give this life , please, i thought i was listening and looking at a throw back of solent green ,or what ever that was then ,but that was cool to , but buddy there are still humans out here , and i truly hope there is still some of you ! no harm ment at all just keeping it real as music should always be ,put the creative ability of that gear with some human musician ship ,,,then your technical post of this gears capabity can at least start hear on earth where true musicians were etemoligized,excuse my spelling,or mc a tech class for this set up and options of potential interaction of this supposed to be great hi -tech set up, any one, seasoned or not can learn to wire up a massive ,impressive midi and audio cable set up, how much can you wire up at once ,thats why there is multy tracking did you obviuosly forgot, for real musicians to express thier selves musically one track at a time nowadays ,i only see an expanded sequencer environment of this set up , !!!!!!!! nothing new buddy!!! so you have not stumbled on to some new form of extreme creativity , no not at all, you have and overloaded set up of devices with pre programmed sequencer ability and not a spec of soul of music , and i love tech ,house ,trance , im an originator of house from chicago illinois , so dude get back to real, ! oh how much u want for the 106 thats a waste there i cud use it! Love what you doin ,but this still earth existing to travel universes ! you sure you ready for that Tech!!!!??
The sh-101 really sounds great! Just got the free vst from TAL! It's awesome!
amazing. thanks for sharing
So inspiring !
This is amazing
This is amazing, I need more cables...
Amazing!!!
I'm currently in the process of constructing my live set and this was a great help. I make different sort of music however. One concern I have with this set up (and a lot of electronic music, including my own) is how much we rely on samples we created before hand. I'm trying to consciously bring in a more improvisational nature (i'm a multi instrumentalist) to my live set up but it's a long journey no doubt. Given that, does anyone have any useful information/videos/tips please? Thank you :)
well executed!
Amazing!!
name of that Looper at 8:55 please?
We can actually ear the fauna in there (biophony), panning...(ex.
Hooray for the mpk mini
Awesome thank you!
This is a comment and not a criticism.
This seems to me like a $100,000 race car that goes around a track that a $1500 bicycle can do.
Maybe there’s a satisfaction in the complexity of the machinery. I don’t know. Maybe GAS.
I respect any artists music and I respect the way they feel they need to get there.
It’s hard for me to be thinking about gadgets and feeling the music at the same time.
I’d rather spend the time learning technique on the guitar or keyboard than troubleshooting electronic gear. This video served a great purpose as I build my studio. To keep my setup very simple and easy to understand. Then I can be free to concentrate on my instrument.
Thank you for helping me clear that up. :-)
This isn't really that complicated, it's just lots of individual components they've built up over a long period of time - it's a very custom instrument that they've built to make a particular type of music. Sure he could just play a piano but that would sounds totally different. In fact the whole point of the way they're working is that when they're actually making music, they don't have to think about the technology.
amazing!!!
Truly artistic.
***** Without doubt, yes. I barely even watched the jam - 20 minutes and I never got bored. Each to their own.
big up for the birds & the craws in the background! ;)
Amazing setup, gear and sounds. These guys seem to really know how to get into the creative flow together. There's one thing that I didn't quite get though. At the beginning he says their computers are not synced but they are beatmatching. My guess would be that they are running the final stereo mix through traktor, splitting the mix into two separate channels and then reuniting them once beatmatched, but as I said that's just me guessing. Anybody have any clue about what they are actually doing?
wow great subtil devine work, love to visit your studio .... and wondering in your mind and ..... so body can weel rooted on earth to bloom in eternal spring time ..... any time thanks for sharing all this technology tool
Super Brilliant....!!!!
Outstanding music and setup. Major ups to you guys. Here's my question... after sending all this music around to all these controllers and stomp pads and craziness, how does it look when you're doing a professional recording back in ableton? What do you use for recording? I'm looking to use Ableton software and external controllers because I'm more of an external guy too, but what will it BE when it comes back into the computer? Obviously, others might want to remix your work, so you need a sound separated ableton file right? Someone please elaborate, I'm very interested in this
Much hardware so impressed, bring back sonkite guys
what was the black box with four channels called (the one the SH101 was plugged into) he used to add shuffle to the individual input pretty cool!
incredible
quick question...when you have multiple beats going how do you sync tempo together. or beat matching.
amazing! really
love the way this guy uses the 101
Hey thanks ! How come that at 9:17, the looped sound he rooted to the chanel 2 seems different ?
I missed what the huge mixer in the front of everything is for, tho...
for looks. you can do everything these guys are doing with all that crap with a midi controller, some free VSTs and a laptop
fantastic
wow i didndt know they were Son Kite too, i love Son Kite and now Minilogue!!!
These guys are wizards!!
Love it amazing
SO DOPE
yeah ! Awesome :-)
Hello Friend, My name is Hercules Sousa, I live in Brazil and I am completely Facinado for their sound, their music, their way of Create and Execute the Sounds, I am percussionist and come to a time studying and playing Percussions Electronic and seeing their work was quite inspired to create something so I can also create sounds and make music with the difference that I will also add my Percussion sound, I hope we can be friends and will also be an honor for me to receive a your tips, hugs, Sousa Hercules of Brazil!!
how does he connect the 101 to the RCA stero dj mixer input?
THANK YOU.
Amazing insight! Audio routing must be a nightmare lol
where do all those returns go? to physical mixers?
What's the name of the MIDI/CV interface explained ?
Nice!
@zeropoint808 nice one mate i appreciate your effort. have you seen the price tag on the bloody thing? Lol
How did you join both sessions together to get one sound.
What is the Midi > CV box that he's using..?? shuffle amount is amazing not seen that before!
Wizard Sleeve did you ever find out what this was called? thanks
ACME by SND
Oh what a good episode of horders this was :D
Anyone see the similarity with Minilogue and Octave one? It's just the style of music that comes out that is diffrent! Love this. Im going into live play myself ;)
What makes me wonder is...How is their mono/stereo balance done with the guitar pedals? You can clearly see that for example the Carl Martin EQ has mono in, mono out. The signal going in the chain is stereo.. same for the output of the chain. Obvious answer: mono summing before the chain. But that would mean also a bit of phase cancellation. Anyone got an idea?
+Boy Bianchi the only stereo source you (might) have is from loops. all other sources are mono. ableton utility plugin is great for mono/stereo/phasing/spreading/channel copying etc needs. it's really an amazing utility.
not my favourite tunes but the setup is amazing!!!!!
Great!
ok but why do they use pretty much devices for the same effect? I got him talking about the delay effect on one machine and then he said the same thing for the other machine...:-
how can i rent your studio :D
What brand and model is the midi cv interface does anyone know?
googled it - snd acme (advanced clock management engine) 4
is the opening song imagine a veil in the wind?
The Island of If
finally some ppl who understand
these guys didn't bat an eye when link was released. lmfao
I wonder if Push would be useful for these guys
cool oveview
So basically you just plugged a load of stuff together and pissed about. Absolute craziness.
I do love the environment and philosophy though. Would love to live this lifestyle. How is it funded?
Gigging, they have been doing like for 16 years
Awesome
