PvD ADOPTS A&H’s XONE:3D
Words: Terry Church
Last year’s Top 100 DJs poll winner, Paul van Dyk, has adopted Allen & Heath’s groundbreaking new Xone:3D mixer to use in his DJ sets around the world.
The German trancer splashed out on two of the next-generation mixers (at £1650 each a pop!), one for touring and club gigs, and one for his studio.
"The 3D is perfect for my live set up as it's not just a mixer, it's also a controller, which means I can programme in real time using the unit's MIDI sends and returns," explained van Dyk.
"As soon as I got the 3D I configured it with all my software and it worked straight away.
“I use two computers with it - one loaded with Scratch Live using time-coded CDs, and the other with Ableton Live and all of my sequences and elements.
“I also have an E-MU keyboard, which records and plays back sequences.
“And at heart of all of it is the 3D, which controls and syncs it all.
“It's liberating - I'm constructing and creating tracks on the spot, and every performance is unique."
Paul van Dyk is currently working on his new album due for release in Spring 2007. |
