Richie Hawtin Live Performance and Rig Tour
The video above captures a live techno set by Richie Hawtin, aka Plastikman, with a system based around Bitwig Studio.
In the second video below, Hawtin discusses his setup, including his custom API scripts for the Novation Launchpad Pro, AKAI Fire and a custom Yaeltex MIDI conroller to suit his workflow:
Richie Hawtin uses three different controllers for three different tasks:
- The Novation Launchpad Pro provides direct access to Bitwig’s per-note Operators, so he can manually program rhythms for sounds;
- The AKAI Fire acts as a classic drum machine sequencer; and
- His custom Yaeltex externalises his use of Bitwig’s Arpeggiator to write melodies.
Take a look at how Hawtin uses his custom Yaeltex controller:
