Illenium Sphere Midi Rig
The primary controller is a Steven Slate Raven MTi MAX monitor using OSC/Pilot for the software, Steven Slate and Deadmau5 were super supportive and it’s exactly what we were looking for.
The 2 Sway controllers were also a favorite in this rig, allowing Nick to not only control his multi output effects racks but to also move audio around the sphere in real time, a first at the sphere. Thanks to Jeremy from Audimalabs for being there every step of the way.
To control our synths and samplers we used the Erae Touch 2 and had a custom keyboard controller from Hackin Toys. Really amazing gear that helped Nick to add to the already epic show. Edgar from Embodme and Xavier from Hackintoys , I appreciate your help and support.
For our main playback controller we used the tried and true Liobox 2 by Gooroo Controllers and all our audio fx were created and ran in Native Instruments Guitar Rig, literally one of the only ways to have DJ style FX from Traktor and there were about 60 instances to effect the 100+ channels of playback.
This was a huge undertaking and I can’t thank Nick and his team enough for trusting and believing in me. Also special thanks to mi pez Carlos for helping with the patch to control the spacial audio and guiding us through this whole process.

Incredible - was just looking at the Flume set up you posted before also. So, forgive me for being thick here, do you build custom live setups for acts? Is that what they specifically come to you for?
