      Okay, so this is how the sounds get made live-more or less. The Tascam being the pivot point that joins the two systems and gives most of the levels that trademark Broke_Fi clip and buzz. 

       1) The main laptop (which does NOT angle downward far enough to get a superlative, professional-looking camera shot. Sorry about that). Contains the Glauco sequencer with all the presets and MIDI plugins not coming from the Music Station (immediate right)

       2) The Tascam, Grunge Box for a little extra nasty, 


       3) Asus tablet (atop Dell Almighty) mainly used to house extra samples and other audio files dropped into the mix via the selfsame Glauco sequencer albeit in a stripped down 2-track freeware version. A bitch to see a lot of the time when sharing the tablet's meager screen with multiple windows, including but not limited to a horrible camera shot....


       4) The SA 10. Yeah it's probably the single most underrated piece of musical equipment in the history of the synthesizer. We're talking deserted island shit here, my Ramenites. It's the ethanol that makes the dragster leave that distinct smell all over the venue.


                  I sincerely hope I have satisfactorily illumined what's going on in the shadows. I'm currently bidding on a couple of mid-range additions that I believe will fit into the current scheme and there's a "Buzz Box" pedal created by that Melvins guy I'm also seriously considering giving the proverbial day in court but, for now what you see here is what I'm workin' with. I gotta say I'm overall very satisfied with the results yielded soundwise. So there ya go....



                                                   thanks for the interest

     The "Wake Up and Fail" package. With the better of the two camera angles (marginally) synced with the soundboard audio, which I'm extremely happy with. Not bad at all for a couple freeware sequencers and archaic synthesizers. The audio package will be available from the online store posthaste. The second angle may be uploaded at a later date, if I can find the stomach for the task. The video editing software has its limitations, but I'm definitely considering making a "mini-set" I've agreed to in the future into a full-on multimedia presentation. Stay tuned for that and also a diagram of my invisible setup from the above video shortly....
