Synth, MIDI, Scratch & Prime Dual-Layer Performance with Ethan Leo

Showing the power and flexibility of the Prime Series DJ gear to connect to and control other equipment, Ethan Leo uses the X1800 mixer to send MIDI clock data to control the tempo of his synthesizer. Synching that to a tempo change on his SC5000 media player, Ethan then adds vinyl scratch sounds (on his VL12 Prime turntable), blending the mixer’s sweep FX and Filter separately for audio sculpting. He then switches back 'n forth between the dual-layers of the single SC5000 media player, triggering saved loops and hot cues and all while recording the full performance on individual tracks in Ableton (using the X1800’s capability to perform as a 6 channel-audio interface) - Phew!
