We (Vincent de Wit and me) use a Yamaha RS7000, 1 or 2 Yamaha SU700 a Xone464 mixer, Alesis Ineko and an Alesis AirFX
Vincent plays on 2 SU700's en I play on the RS7000. Each plays his own tracks, in turns, mixing the 2 styles together. I concentrate on my own stuff and my mate on his stuff. One tries to continue with what the other one was doing, pushing it further every time. There's no planning at all before a gig, just who's the one to start the set.

I think it's much easier doing it with 2 instead of doing it alone. When you play alone, you will always have 1 particular sound, your own. It can be fabtastic, but can get boring. With 2 you can combine and make a set more interesting. I make stuff that my mate never would make and vice versa. Combine that and you have something that can be interesting.

We like it this way because it's flexible. We can do everything we want, improvise, extend, remix etc...

The RS7000 is used in pattern mode - 16 midi tracks per song, cutoff, diff. filters, mute/unmute, fading and combining tracks.
The RS7000 has a warm, very pure sound.

SU700's: loop-based. This machine has a more metal sound, different as the RS700. It can sound really dirty, has nice LFO's and a few good efx.

Machines are synced with eachother with midi.

For us this is the best setup. Setting up@ a gig only takes 15 minutes. Not too many cables and it always works. Never crashes.
The only thing is that you really have to learn how to play your tracks and improvise live.

In the beginning we took half the studio with us, but there's always something tha can go wrong of something you forget to connect.
Too much hassle.

Of course every liveact has it's own solution.This is just one of many. :roll:
