After creating the new tape loops I did a setup test on what I’d like to use for my final improvised generative performance. I decided that perhaps I need more cables that I can borrow from a friend and how to position my setup. I have also considered how I want to play and perform within this.
I first decided to create a list of things I need.
I have 6 inputs in my mixer/tape machine with two being stereo. I decided to use one of those two stereo inputs for my return from SP404 MK2 which I will be using for FX. Channel one and two will be my Juno synth which I will perform amongst the soundscape compositions. Channel three will be a Volca FM I borrowed from university and 5/6 my Walkman with a long tape loop. Playing drones while the other sounds are more performative. I will also record the output into the ZOOM H5 and listen to the composition through the CUE function of the desk/tape machine which is the headphone output.
So far I’ve tested everything and it works well. I now will create a clean comfortable setup which allows me to perform my four pieces.
