In this video, synthesist Matthew Piecora (aka EZBOT) digs into how he uses the new Moog Labyrinth synthesizer as the sequencer ‘brain’ for a compact modular techno rig.
As always with Piecora’s videos, he shares tips and tricks based on a deep understanding of his gear, and shows how to create a rig that works well for live performance.
“The Labyrinth is fine on it’s own, but what if we use it’s generative sequencer to sequence our other modules?” asks Piecora. “I am finding this workflow is fantastic for techno production, and sampling in general. The riffs that you can pull out of a quick session are awesome!”

the nice thing about Moog’s semi’s are they obey non-isochronous clocking. a timing generator like Mutable Instruments Marbles or Grids can be used to trigger an ensemble of semi’s. my favs are DFAM, Laby and SubH together. very expressive.
Looks cool. I’ll revisit this when I have a bit more time.
