Been eyeing this SL73 at music go round for weeks and finally pulled the trigger yesterday. I love it already and my rig is almost ready for the new year. Super compact and flexible. The biggest plus for me in Gig Performer is the Rig Manager because I’ll never know how much space I’ll have for a gig and reprogramming a different board(s) for each show was starting to be a pain.
The Crimson Marathon in Prague featuring Tony Levin, Trey Gunn, David Cross, Pat Mastelotto, Jeremy Stacey and friends. Can you spot Gig Performer?

This is based on Windows and Leo is going to test it these days with his guitar setup. His main concern is the single USB port that will need to charge, pass audio and MIDI.
Under the hood this is a quite powerful 8-core Ryzen with 16g of RAM.
It is very portable and has a touch-screen display.

Have you heard how Leo is doing with this? I just picked up an Asus Rog Ally with some extra Christmas gigs and end of year royalty money that came in higher than expected. I am curious about loading it up with Gig Perfomer. The only thing keeping from trying it right now is time. It might make for a nifty little portable unit when I don’t want to (or cant) haul my full rig around.

You can join the group if you want and ask your questions. And please do share your feedback when you start experimenting!
(NB: I’m still driving the traffic to this forum, but that FB group is growing rapidly and some of those users are still not on the forum)
Thanks!! Heading there now.

“First gig with Gig Performer 5, totally flawless. All sounds coming from MacBook Pro M1. Using Nectar Pacer for foot pedals/sustain. Nords only used as controllers, including drawbar mapping for organ. All sounded superb!”

A post from Richard Firth-Godbehere.
Set up for a gig at Parkdean in Walton-on-the-naze.
I finally got the guts to try using Neural DSP plugins live. I’d rather a real Soldano SLO 100, but there’s other things to spend £5k on.I’m going to expand to Gig Performer, more amp plugs and the Eventide H9 suite.
Neural’s plugins are pretty amazing.The shoes are the secret sauce.

This my current rig. I run Gig Performer 5 on a 14” 2023 Macbook Pro with a iConnectivity rackmount interface that has 12 XLR outputs. The EMU longboard 61 and a Roland XV5050 rack module are there as hardware synth backups in event of catastrophic failure of my Macbook Pro or the CME WIDI wireless MIDI.
Tiny MIDI controller is an IK Multimedia Irig Keys In/Out 25, attached to the EMU with velcro. The black controller is IK Multimedia Irig Keys Pro 2 37 key and Korg nanoKONTROL 2 mixer/controller also attached with velcro.
Plus two Sustain pedals and a expression pedal. (Not pictured)
Software:
- Arturia DX7, Fairlight, ARP2600, EMU Emulator II. Moog’s Moog 15, Minimoog D. Waves EP200, and IK Multimedia BX3 and Syntronic I and II. And G-Force M-Tron Pro IV. - Lastly Lunacy Audio’s Cube for weird stuff.
- For scoring I use EastWest Hollywood Orchestrator and own all their sounds as well.
Kind of went crazy with plug-in fever last year! Happy about it though because it led me to investing in awesome software Gig Performer – and that has the been the major game-changer that allows me to run all of those VSTs and create massive stacked sounds and switch patches without crashing (unlike Logic X and MainStage!)

Super psyched to meet another FOH engineer using Gig Performer as a plug-in server. Well done Russ on a solid mix for the Kooks at Kilk Festival!
At Asunción, Paraguay.

In the session I attached as a picture, for example you can mute the tracks for drums, bass, etc… depending on the musicians you have for the show.
The assignment of the audio outputs of each sequencer and sampler can be easily done.
The advantage of Gig Performer is the customization to assign the controls for each song… In Ableton Live it is a bit complex.
Audio File Player isn’t in the Global rackspace. The sequencers and keyboards are in each rackspace for each song. It has disadvantages like memory consumption, but it also allows customization of each song.
The community forum helped me a lot to learn, I’ve been using this program for less than a year and I’ve been able to do things live that I never imagined!
Gig performer includes among other tools Audio File Player, Streaming Audio File Player, and another interesting tool that can help - MIDI File Player.
Everything is included in the software and the integration with VST is amazing.
I use Audio File Player for multi-tracks and Streaming Audio File Player for samples.

New vocal chain setup. I’m using Gig Performer / Eventide plugins / Howard Benson plugins / UADX Audio Plugins.
Technology, a wonderful thing!!!

This is song #73 of 74 I’m converting to Gig Performer for my transition from a hardware rig (Kronos ii + MODX8) to a hybrid of MODX8 + Arturia Keylab 88 MkII in a PC-based rig using Gig Performer.
Here’s the wiring that replaces the Kronos for Der Kommisar.
5 hours of work and a pleasure to build it. Every sound is an upgrade from the Kronos. Loving it!

For my Gig Performer setup I use:
- 2018 Mac Mini 64GB i7 with 2TB drive that lives inside my pedalboard with a touch screen up top. I have a little Bluetooth keyboard/trackpad for it as well.
- Behringer Flow 8 as an audio interface and a sub mix. (I use a Hammond SK Pro for my organ tone and occasionally other stuff, and depending on the gig I might bring another hardware synth)
- My main VST loadout is Arturia V collection plus Keyscape for EP and assorted pianos, plus Roland Cloud and a few other specialty plugins.
It’s been rock solid for me for about 2.5 years at this point. The only trouble I’ve ever had are gigs where power isn’t reliable, and that can be fixed with a portable power bank.
