Rubix

 A new series of recordings sees the introduction of a serious piece of kit into the Conny Plankton sonic arsenal: The Roland Rubix 4 by 4 is an audio interface which allows 4 in or 4 out – or 4 mono or two stereo inputs to be recorded direct to Ableton Live and each recorded input edited separately afterwards. These means different synths and hardware effects could be set up to record direct into Ableton. Often synced into different VST synths, this made for an altogether different approach to recording and mixing – especially in that mixers were bypassed altogether and everything recorded and played back through the interface. Of course, the finished mixes are as varied and unpredictable as ever!
