This is my art-rock synth setup
​
I’m in a post-rock/art-rock band in Mexico where I mainly play synths and do backup vocals, but I also launch some samples, play the accordion (in one song) and use minor percussion for a couple of songs. I left a diagram of my current setup, and some pictures too.
I have the CZ/PL 88 MIDI from LewisMidi to recall patches for my Yamaha Recafe CS via sysex. My Reface output is then connected to a Flamma Delay and a Flamma Reverb, and then to a minimixer. I have a Novation launchpad mini connected to an old android phone with Koala sampler, the phone's output is also connected to the minimixer.
For rehearsals, I connect a microphone - for backing vocals - and a wireless microphone - for the accordion - directly to the minimixer and the minimixer output goes to an amplifier.
When playing live, I only connect the synthesizer and the samples to the minimixer, giving me 3 outputs to the venue PA, one from the minimixer with the synth and the samples through a D.I., a second one from the accordion with the wireless microphone that also goes through a D.I., and the third one from the backing vocals connected directly to the console of the venue.
I've been playing the synths for 4 years, and just a couple months with a cheap accordion. I've changed my setup tons of times but I think this is the setup that I'm going to stay with; I've said this so many times I no longer believe my self 🙃
The last picture is from the last week and I've already change that setup to the one I'm showing here because I had some issues during the show with some pedals I was using for the accordion and the vocals 😅
I love my reface ❤️ hope to find other reface lovers
