He’s been crafting coarsed sounds with diffusion delay, bringing out textures that churn like an old-school mixtape, blending seamlessly with modern synth vibes. All around, Moog goodies sit snugly, proving that even a synth needs a family sometimes.

Wireless Wonders and Drum Machines

Enter Synido’s TempoPAD C16, a wireless marvel that lets Luke play untethered while hooking seamlessly with Aly James Lab’s Vprom plugin. It’s the kind of freedom that spices up jam sessions, no stress about tangled wires—just pure groove. Meanwhile, the Arturia DrumBrute Impact 1984 edition steps in, bringing fresh sounds and a nostalgic thump like grandma’s record collection.

With synths plugged into the Universal Audio interface, it’s a breeze to jump from one keyboard to another without missing a beat. The setup ensures recordings are as smooth as sliding into a booth at your favorite diner—simple and efficient.

Tech and Tones Meet Convenience

Luke’s setup encapsulates ingenuity through wireless interconnectivity and strategically placed gear that ensures easy access and superior sound quality. With headphones like the Beyerdynamic DT1990 Pro for mixing and a clutter-free space fit for a sonic wizard, his workflow now matches his creative pace without skipping a beat.
