The Unperson’s Live Rig: A Hardware Rave That Laughs in the Face of DAWs

Ready for a wild ride through the world of live hardware synth sets? The Unperson, that Glasgow-based sonic wrangler, takes us on a cheeky tour of his gig-ready setup—one that’s as hands-on as a sausage sizzle and twice as unpredictable. Forget your laptop and pristine studio: this is all about real-time mixing, sample-slinging, and a dash of live vocals for good measure. If you’ve ever wondered how to wrangle a pile of synths, samplers, and modular bits into a performance beast that’ll survive a sticky-floored club, this one’s for you. Grab a cold one and let’s dive in!

The Unperson’s OP-1 vs Modular FX: Turning a Cult Classic into a Sonic Street Weapon

The Unperson is back in the rave bunker, this time dragging the Teenage Engineering OP-1 into a modular FX cage match. Love it or loathe it, the OP-1 is still a cult favourite, but let’s be honest: it’s got some gaping holes, especially if you crave stereo and proper effects. Instead of moaning, The Unperson wires up a Eurorack FX rack and shows how to make this plastic legend punch way above its weight. If you’re into glitchy textures, filthy delays and unpredictable radio sampling, this one’s for you. Don’t expect hand-holding—expect inspiration, chaos, and a few sharp elbows.
