"My new set- up consists of two laptops, a Xone:92 and two Xone:1Ds, which combine the best of both worlds - the analogue sound of the 92 and the 1D's hands-on MIDI control for Traktor and Ableton software. Plus, the 1Ds match the design and feel of the 92, so it really feels like one big performance workstation," Jochem explains.
"Sculpting my sound is now more flexible and transparent than ever before. The 1Ds have a very clear layout, which makes them really comfortable to operate on stage. Although all sound in my sets is coming from laptops, I never have to touch the mouse and rarely have to look at the screens. I have mapped the controllers to all the functions I need, and they modify the music dramatically, enabling me to be very expressive."
