The key is having adequate sang-froid to feel cool with pulling out a few pages of notes mid-set. I have no problem in being that dork.
Yeah, totally agreed. I made a sort of cheat sheet to write down my favorite settings (think I posted it a couple months back on the Molecular Distruptor thread if someone needs them).
Obviously it would be more than great to be able to save those presets somehow.

You can always make a sort of similar synthetic scheme, print it, and paste it in the front of the MD (but I think the Pladask has a bit more space because the enclosure is taller if I recall correctly )

Respect
My sets are pretty intense though so I don't change settings. Its one reason why I have 4 pitch shifters across the front of my board. Glitch-wise I just use a basic setup of Raptio and ReVolver II to cover my bases. The more nuanced glitch stuff gets pulled out for records and anything I need live ends up going in a pre-recorded loop I play from my RC30.

It saves me a lot of space. This track is all Fuzzrocious Empty Glass drones and MASF Possessed and I just built a loop with the drones and possessed parts that I play to start our set. The feedback comes in live at the right time. Drummer can start the first song whenever he wants with this setup because the loop I recorded is way longer than we ever go. If I had to perform the drones with my feet and play the glitch part that only works with a very specific possessed setting it would be a huge pain and be two expensive pedals on the board for 40 seconds of music.

It's funny, the need for notes doesn't really bother be with the FORM2, but it bugs me with the Count To Five. I have no idea why that is.

I use to do the same trick sending the main loop with the rc30 at half of our set and then fading in with other noisy sound that i loop over, then the drums get in and i have time to tweak the pedals back into the "standard" position.

I think he's building them. Maybe he thought he wouldn't sell them all but I would have expected that.

Wouldn't surprise me. No biggie waiting for it for me. I'm slammed right now with a project anyways.
