Welcome to our synth sanctuary, where we turn knobs and make music, one 'note'-orious post at a time!

I bought a bunch of cabling which I am expecting to be delivered next week. So I hope to set up my gear in such a way I can walk around any play whatever I want to play. All connected to Ableton.
This week I felt pretty under the weather so no real activities there.
The dreaded electric spaghetti! I hate cords so much. Nice to have them, though. Especially nice once everything is connected and you don't have to futz with cables anymore. Congrats!
That sounds exciting! I've been debating setting everything up to be able to run through Ableton as well (currently I run everything dawless) but it feels like a big task. Could you give a rundown of your plan? Would love to hear how you're routing everything
I have a very long powered usb-c extension chord, a ton of audio cables and power running to a setup behind my desk.
Audio: All the audio cables go into a (normalled) patch bay. My most common gear I have normalled to my audio interface but if I want to replace it with something else as the number of inputs on the audio interface are limited.
Power: For power I have a big power splitter with multiple sections that have their own power switch allowing me to fully disconnect things.
USB: For USB I have a usb hub at the end of the usb c extender. It's a powered hub as well to support connecting more things.
Ableton: I made presets for most of my instruments using tracks and the external instrument device. My electron gear runs through Overbridge (to save on audio interface ports as well as being able to save and recall presets from Ableton).
I think that's about it, did I miss anything? I will probably share some pictures in next week's thread since I hope it will be ~~done~~ presentable then.
