Yo Arturians, let’s talk setups. Big rigs, minimal desks, DIY stands, chaotic cable jungles - we wanna see it all. If you’ve got an Arturia piece in your setup, drop a pic. Flex your workspace. Inspire the crew.
How to join: Post a pic (or a few) of your setup featuring Arturia gear. Add a short note - what’s your go-to? Any weird workflow tricks? Favorite happy accident? Bonus points for clever cable management. Or no cable management. Both are valid.
Why?
Because we all love gear .
Because someone’s setup hack might change your life.
Because we’re all just trying to make cool noises.
Drop your pics below. Let’s see what you’re working with.
P.S. We might share some of the best on our Socials.
Went for the Maschine plus, but wanted Some more synths so I bought the microfreak. After one month the minifreak came for the polyphony. I like how they are different with the envelopes and poly/paraphony.
Micro is used mainly for leads and 4 note arpegiated chords. ( I really like how the filter is affected by the voice stealing. The mini is for keys/piano and mallet type sounds. The maschine+ is the heart of the setup. The Bass is for… surprisingly basses. And the record player for sampling.
The mixer is there to route everything into the Maschine+ and back out to the monitors.
I like the keybed of the minifreak so I use it a lot more than I anticipated.
The KK2 keyboard is routed into Maschine via midi. And the Mac mini is used as a sound module.
I made some changes (tidying up) since the last photo posted.
Sorry but no hardware from Arturia (finance requires for an amateur) but the
V collection X , the FX collection 5 , Pigments, quite a few Preset Banks, and a few other VSTs bought outside of V collection X.
My Home Studio is basic, modest but that’s where I feel best (even if at the moment inspiration is not really felt, but hey I play that’s the main thing).
No visible cables, lots of 3d print stuff (KRK supports, Mic base, cable routing, Minilab 3 stand and support and others not visible). Neurosonica | Instagram, Facebook, TikTok | Linktree for some stupid things i do
I’m impressed and a little embarrassed by how well thought out and tidty everyone’s space is Really lovely Anyway, this part of the studio is Arturia corner. Minibrute had to lose its keys (thanks Dave GMUSynth)External gear runs into Audiofuse studio via a behringer xair. Audiofuse is the final hub in a chain and I utilize every input, every usb and all outputs baring the B speaker option and it provides solid performance.
Thanks Arturia.
That’s my little Arturia set. MiniBrute2S ist waiting in its box for new knobs. Sometimes I swap the MicroBrute with a MicroFreak. I prefer a rather small hybrid setup. Ergonomics and a comfortable feel are more important to me than heaps of gear. Less is more. Sometimes.
I have been building a new setup. A Pro tools 10 HD rig. I have a Mac laptop and two Mac Pro’s with two 6 cores (24 cores due to hyperthreading) and 128 gb ram. (registered). The second Mac Pro will be upgraded to the latest greatest once I have a HDX card for it and a new HDX Protools license. The control24 has 16 preamps and 16 extra inputs where I can connect a second rig.
The first control24 was broken. This is my second. The first one is ready to be fixed. Still in the testphase atm with the second control24 running a Mac Pro snow leopard and a Protools 10HD set and a access virus license on the cards. It runs with two 192’s attached. Gonna test with 2 more attached.
I hope to buy a Midas xl48 this year so I have 8 midas preamps to run through the klark teknik compressors. Besides the 16 focusrite preamps. Then the upper rack will have enough room for a 500 rack. That way I can migrate from in the box effects to pure out the box effects and have a set setup that will record each time with fixed parameters meaning it’s set and forget.
The desk has motors so It can be set to work in a sitting position or it can be used in a standing position.
