Well I'll be... I saw Submotion at the croft in Bristol earlier in the year, loved it, and a friend and I left feeling inspired to resurrect an old live electronica/dubstep project we used to play in.

Was at Green Man fest the other day and knew that Submotion were on the bill so had to check it out... I was completely blown away; highlight of the festival for sure! It got me thinking about my effects setup for bass, and so I started scouring the net to find out who the submotion bass player was and if there was any info on his setup, and after a little research I find you're right here on my favourite bass forum posting live dubstep videos!

Had a gander at your vid: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVOwdGRaYiw"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVOwdGRaYiw[/url]

I see the trusty line6 M9 is in place, a few expression pedals, and some sort of moogerfooger... care to shed a little light on that setup and what you're using? (apologies if you've already done so on other posts!), and just out of interest, are you beat matching the wobbles/modulation to a midi tempo?

Will be sure to catch you on the The Thekla in Bristol in October :-)

Ok so I found the other thread where you'd discussed your setup a little...

Very cool. What are the other two expression pedals for?

they can be synced to anything on the M9 or anything in ableton but for this little demo i just used one of the pedals to change the synth sound, octave sweep and reverb if they were selected.the other was for the rate of lfo which was set so was just used for off and on...
but i now have one on mix and one on rate of lfo through ableton and the other two can be used for M9 so can be assigned to anything on there[/quote]

Just wondering how you're hooking your expression pedals into ableton? Are they midi pedals or are they standard VC pedals hooked up to some kind of controller that has a USB/midi out? I can get some half decent synthy tones out of my current pedal board but would love to bosh it thru ableton and have expression control over the ableton effects. Sorry for the third degree... It's just great to see someone getting such lovely sounds out of what appears to be a relatively simple and attainable setup so I'm eager to learn more!

hey mate...sorry for the long out...i forgot about this post...the expression pedals are hooked up to the m9, moggerfooger and ableton via the akai apc40...u can assign the exp pedals on m9 to control wave setting, octave jumps, reverb levels, cutoffs etc and on the moogerfooger its just assigned to mix for wobble so u can creep it in or whatever and then the other is assigned to mix of the cutter in ableton so the lfo will be perfectly in time to johns click...
hope this explains it properly...come say hello at the bristol gig coming up...nice one :)

Thanks for the info mate, really helpful! I've currently got the auto filter on ableton setup to wobble in time with a click, and I've setup a load of midi foot switches - one to adjust click track tempo in time with my drummer, an expression pedal to adjust the mix of the auto filter, and a load of switches to change the rate of the wobble to 1/4 , 1/6 , 1/8 etc.... works a treat for those beat matched wobbles :-)

So can you just whack a regular VC expression pedal into the akai and have it route the expression into ableton as midi, or is it actually a midi expression pedal? I'm using an iPad to control ableton at the min, bit fiddly so thinking about getting a decent controller....
