Melodic Techno Studio Jam - Making music with hardware

I decided to leave an unquantized loop in the Pulsar-23 as it was for some weird texture. Not sure about the outcome, but hey, here it is!

Great stuff!  Nice collection of keys and gear.   Enjoy the aspect that this is live playing of instruments that you have pre-sequenced.  Then you mix a live track as they play.   You're ready for Tomorrow Land!   However, this is not what DJ's do at those music festivals.  And you couldn't take all these keys to play at a festival.   The dj's are playing back DAW recordings.   What you do is real playback and some live performing as well.  Those high notes on the synth sound great.

Thanks! It's always a balance between 'what do/can I do live' and 'what is better left sequenced'. For excample, yesterday I was recording and I was so focused on the sequencing of the track I forgot to play one the synths I had picked out for live playing. 

Ands I have been asked to do some live stuff (not Tomorowland haha), but I'm not that interested. It's a hassle. But perhaps in the future with a small setup.
