Live act setup configutaion/behinger/volca/analog/arturia

Hi everyone,
I need some help with setup upgrade

current;
-macbook
-speakrs
-volca bass
-volca sample
-elektron analog four
-cmd studio 4a

new;
-behringer 1208x
-arturia beatstep pro

I need sequncer for volca bass & sample. I've decided to try atruria beatstep pro. I also was thinking about mixer. I find behinger 1208x quite interesting because of its complexity.

My questions is;
1. how to connect sequencer to the mixer ?
2. should sequencer be after or before mixer
3. is cmd 4a studio in right place ?
4. Does it make sens ?

I will be glad if anyone can explain it to me easy way ;)

Ok, Im gonna chime in that I'm REALLY confused by parts of the post.

• The Volca's and the Electron already have sequencers. you should only need to sync the clocks ?
• An external sequencer would not plug into the mixer.
• The Behringer mixing desk is pretty basic .. nothing complex
• The CMD can go into the stereo AUX channels on the mixer.

Lastly, I would consider sending midi clock from the laptop to sync your DJ set with the synths (if you intend playing them together).

Maybe I'm missing something. :001_unsure:

I would replace the Volca sample and Beatstep pro with an Elektron Digitakt. You would have advanced sampling and sequencing capabilities in a single box that does much more than the other two.

Are you just trying to layer stuff over dj mixes or going more for a live performance?

Hi,

Thx for an answers.

I will give up on beatstep pro. I am also thinking about changing mixer from 1204x to 1202x.
As I've noticed the main difference are knobs instead of faders. Are there any more major differences between them ?

Yes a ton - if you cant spot them it probably wont make a difference, but they are significant.

Thank You for an answers.
I've ended up with :

-behringer x1204usb
-zoom ms70cdr for my volca bass ;)

Thanks to ;deevey & ;therushisloud

Good luck! The zoom pedal looks fun.
