Got the FW-1082 setup and working properly. Took a bit of work and a bunch of reading, but it’s working wonderfully. Also had to buy another PSU for it, the one it came with was the wrong voltage and amperage. I’m surprised it even turned on and attempted to work.

So some things have happened since I last posted my setup. I added a 1st gen Axiom 49, but we had to move into a much smaller place so the bulk of my setup is now in storage. I grabbed the Axiom 49, Lexicon Alpha, and MPC500 and brought it with us as we prepare to move back to MI in the coming months.
I’m debating on grabbing my EA-1 too. I think I have just enough space for it.

That Axiom 49 is such a nostalgia rush! I just got my old Oxygen 8 re-gifted back to me and the thing still works after like 12 years. M-audio doesn’t mess around

I found this one in a pawn shop I stopped in at random. $100. Couldn’t pass it up at all. Got it home and I see why the previous owner got rid of it: The keys simply didn’t work… or so it seemed. the drum pads worked fine but pressing the keys resulted in no midi output. Did a factory reset on it and “poof” everything worked just fine.
I’m not a fan of the V2 Axiom boards since they’re not supported by Enigma, which I also use with my OG Trigger Finger and Axiom 25.

Glad it ended up working. Factory reset is my “did you turn it on and back off again?” trouble shooting go-to lol

The gear porn first:
Far left, Digitakt and Model:Samples on the monitor mount; top right, Behringer RD-8 808 clone; bottom left Pioneer DJ/DSI Toraiz SP-16; top center, Behringer TD-3 303 clone; bottom center, Allen and Heath Xone:43 4 Channel DJ mixer; in the rack, Warm Audio Tone Beast Pre-Amp (808 is currently running through it) and MOTU MIDI Express 128 XT; bottom right, 2x Pioneer XDJ 700 Media Players (basically CDJs that don’t do CDs). Only piece left is my Novation Circuit Monostation, not sure where to fit it in…but not too worried about it yet. This new setup is deep enough.
The XDJs sync with each other and the SP-16 over an ethernet switch and the SP-16 sends Clock and Start/Stop to the 808 clone (and presumably other gear).
I’ve got the SP-16 on a DJ mixer channel, the two XDJs on their own channels, and the RD-8 on the last channel (I will probably hook the RD-8 + other gear to a small studio mixer and run that into the last channel on the DJ mixer but for now this is enough to get used to). For those that might not know, you can preview a any channel or channels over headphones and the audience can’t hear it so I can preview everything before committing it to the master outputs of the mixer.
It has been a long road of buying and selling but I think I’ve finally arrived at something that is as ideal as possible that will let me build tracks to be finished in my DAW and then let me perform those live along side other people’s music.

Yeah… So the small rig just wasn’t cutting it so I made space and pulled everything back out. Time to get back to it.

Looks good. Not having computer keyboard centered for display would drive me mental but if it works for you, it works for you

The angle the keyboard is at is pretty comfortable 'cause I use it with just my right hand. With this specific machine, it’s only ever used to name files and tracks and for a tiny bit of menu navigation. It’s not connected to the internet nor do I want it connected for any reason, so I don’t really use the keyboard much.
