I do this ... it's really enjoying to play your own tunes but never the same way, so each time is unique :W:

If im djing alone i jsut dj my tunes into a set and try to keep a cohesive thought continued through the entire set.

When i perform with my buddy we use a guitar and some live synths which we play over and with our own tunes plus other tunes. Sometimes this works beautifully and we rage hard. SOmetimes it falls apart cause the sound guys cant get us monitored right lol.

Thats mental! Is this sort of thing common? What do the likes of Skream n Benga do live for example? Cheers!

What function does the guitar hero controller serve other than holding the kaossilator?

Btw when I first started I used a kaossilator and a nanokontrol for my live setup too.

I use it as a MIDI controller to control Ableton...allows me to do some stuff a lot faster than the nanokontrol
