For those wondering how everything is connected I'll pin this here. My RME interface (UFX II) plus a Ferrofish Pulse 16 ADAT provide 14 stereo analog inputs altogether, that just about covers everything you see (actually I have one stereo pair spare right now). The Virus and Elektron boxes don't use up any analog inputs or MIDI-DIN, since I'm using USB audio and MIDI for those. For MIDI I use a combination of the RME 2 MIDI pair (in/out) + the MOTU Express 128, which gives me another 8 in 8 out MIDI, which is more than enough, since I also use a USB hub to control several of the synths. I try and use all the synths with bi-directional MIDI so that I can both playback and record MIDI data in the DAW from whichever synth I'm using. The eurorack and anything else on the side table go through an Arturia Audiofuse interface and recorded into the Macbook Pro running another copy of Bitwig Studio. I prefer to work with and keep the eurorack completely standalone and separate from the main studio, though if I need to I can take one of the Audiofuse outputs and feed that into the main system too. With this setup I don't need a hardware mixer and will hopefully never need one!

[@epigon1]

Thanks

[@mikecooper8280]

Thanks for this - can I check if you are connecting your Elektron devices using Overbridge? I have a similar but smaller setup to yours with an Analog Rytm 2. I have tried connecting it using Overbridge but it introduces significant latency into the system when playing other external instruments through Ableton

[@stateazure]

Thanks. Yeah I'm using overbridge and used to use my RYTM mk2 connected that way also, no latency issues. Make sure to check your settings in the overbridge panel and use low audio buffer setting in the DAW. Apart from that I can't really be much more help, it just worked for me. Worth checking Elektronauts forums etc if you have issues though. Good luck!@@mikecooper8280

[@Buddhadreams]

thank you for the tour lots of good info

[@alumiel]

Hi, fantastic stuff! What does your pedal effect chain looks like? Hologram after Polymoon? Cosmos usually at the end of the chain? How about Ditto X4? Am I right to assume that you also use Ditto X4 a lot at the end of the chain? Thank you!

[@ultrajayme]

Man...your voice is as soothing as your music.

[@stateazure]

Appreciated!

[@outerspacebass]

Agreed

[@chitlun]

ADASMR

[@elecdream]

Indeed!

[@ultrajayme]

@@chitlun I think you added a letter haha

[@ZipSnipe]

"Probably not as impressive as some would assume" as we all try to stuff our tongues back in our mouths ...beautiful set up !!!!

[@NightmareXBL]

It's like the cockpit of a space ship and it doesn't even have to leave to take you to wondrous places

[@kennethmurphy8585]

My wife and I are HUGE fans of yours and listen to your recordings pretty much everyday either on KZbin or Bandcamp. Thank you for being so amazing and bringing your ethereal magic to our lives.

[@stateazure]

Thank you, Kenneth that's really nice to know!

[@BigMTBrain]

Your testimonial compelled me to go and have a listen... niiiiiiiice!

[@MartinStuertzer]

My studio space is also not too big but like you mentioned it is good to have everything in reach. Thanks for the tour!

[@stateazure]

Thanks, Martin!

[@MarcWeertsMusic]

‘Probably not as impressive…’ he says. 😂 Mate, that’s an awesome yet very compact and efficient looking setup, and I love the lighting and monitor setup!

[@AmyWallaceVocalist]

This is amazing, where all the magic happens! Wow!!!!! Love the commentary! Hehe, absolutely stunning studio, Pat! 🤩✨️

[@stateazure]

Thanks, Amy :)

[@marekveleba]

Oh, I can smell all those electronics warming the air in the room. Amazing studio. Nice, practical and tidy.

[@IceLocus]

Awesome!!! "Part-time jedi knight" - that explains the use of the force!!! 👊😎

[@Lenamusic]

Are we in 2089 studio ❤😅Amazing source maestro 💯🙏🌠🎹

[@storsender5523]

Lovely! Absolutely. Just caught you today on Bandcamp. Great work!

[@danielmocsari705]

It was good to see where does the magic come from. Cheers from Hungary :)

[@SOGNAMETAL]

You are one of the folks who forced me to switch from 30 years of playing drums to start playing on synths, I started with the Korg Wavestate last year, then a Moog Matriarch a couple months ago, eventually I had to buy a mixer, then a stand to put them, now I'm going to buy a Solina String Ensemble and a Roland TR8S, I became so addicted to synths and I am afraid that the Modular addiction is kicking in... conclusion: if one synth comes home, it's too late, many others will definitely follow, thank you for all the inspiration

[@stateazure]

Thank you! It's funny, I'm kinda wayyy over my eurorack addiction, but I think that's also partly due to very few modules that really excite me anymore and my setup feels somewhat complete.

[@adijames]

Ah the Virus. I have the Ti2 Desktop. It’s a fearsome weapon. Nothing it can’t do. Great tour. So much to love.

[@Lenamusic]

Goosebumps ❤🎹❤💯

[@SmallWorldBigThings]

I am speechless.... absolutely speechless. 😲😲😲

[@Jack_Sparrow_1]

Nice and cosy studio to relax, immerse and enjoy the beautiful journey those amazing synths and sounds have to offer ❤

[@Gillymonster18]

That studio looks like your music sounds. Futuristic, thoughtful and relaxing. It’s actually how I’d like to decorate my room. You said you’re not very good at music theory, yet still you make amazing music. Makes me feel more than the typical dreck floating around the internet and radio.

[@stateazure]

Thanks! Always trying to improve my theory. I'm sure it's just fine for mostly ambient music, but I often wish I could do much more complex stuff.

[@starsky101]

Great little tour of what would be a dream studio to me! Do you think you’d ever consider small tutorial videos showing how it’s all routed for example? Or what sounds you use from your synths?

[@stateazure]

Thank you! I pinned a comment explaining how the synths are connected, since a few others asked about that. I don't plan to do any tutorials.

[@Raumfalle]

@@stateazureCouldn’t find it 🤔

[@stateazure]

Maybe you need to refresh the page? My pinned comment should be right here, top message.@@Raumfalle

[@David_K_Booth]

Thanks for letting us see this.

[@stateazure]

Thanks, David!

[@davidnewman5349]

Got to be the most outstanding music on Utube. You had me on "Love on a real train!! I would not be surprised if TD did not pop by for a cuppa and a chat.

[@kentborges5114]

SUPER STUDIO !

[@stephencoakley]

Happy to see the SYSTEM-8, it really is an underrated virtual analog masterpiece. One of my favorite synths in my studio. But yeah I also have the Iridium KB and it is also my #1 favorite, it has such a vast potential soundscape of unique tones to explore.

[@huemorris6099]

Spaceship... ✔️ 😄 Gorgeous setup!

[@ICKXBerlin]

Your voice suits your music perfectly, really like it! Shame, you don't use your mic more often. ;)

[@stateazure]

Thank you :)

[@dmitryleeo]

Thanks for the tour! When I started watching your channel More than 4 years ago, this seemed so mysterious to me. I've always wanted to see what's behind the scenes, who's running it all.

[@dracula5487]

His cat...........😜

[@orchidsvoid]

Finally studio tour! Thank you!❤ I want to buy everything 😂

[@MatzumiMusic]

Wow, what a great studio. Very impressive.

An absolutely gorgeous analog dreamboat. Thank you for sharing, Pat 💜.

[@stateazure]

Thanks, Lilly!

[@loneerv]

Holy Crap! He speaks! you have an awesome setup! everything in there seems to have a place and a purpose. very efficient!

[@stateazure]

Thank you! I really dislike having equipment that goes unused.

[@MusicAsMedicine88]

a lot of keys for just one room, awesome !

[@Heavens_Dome]

best ambient techno produser ;)) cant wait for more

[@RubenSainiuc]

Thank you for the wonderful tour! At 3:42 there is no cat, and now you have to make another tour so we can see the cat too! 😁

[@thedonal]

Lovely setup- definitely jealousy inducing! Though your musical output is what really defines you!

[@THR-zf6ti]

Very nice insights and obviously synth nerds and cats go together well ...😹(I have two) - love your music too!

[@itinerantghost]

Thanks for the tour! Really cool to see it in more detail. The track is killer, by the way. Pure 🔥

It's all the gear in the studio not the size of the studio which impresses me :) dreaming :)

[@gepisar]

phenomenal!!! thanks for the tour - incredible.

[@benhorne1540]

Very nice to get a tour around your workspace. Wonderfully inspiring! I’m so glad that you have been appearing in some of your vids recently, and now we get to hear your calming voice as well. I’s nice to put a face, and voice to the creator of such beautiful music. Cheers to you…

[@davidmund3839]

Very Impressive.

[@maydaygoingdown5602]

Thanks for the glimpse into your world my friend. Your Modular set up looks incredible, i bet you can totaly get lost and immersed in that. I wouldn't know where to start with that myself but i think your modular improvs and tracks are my favourites.. Nice one mate.

[@stateazure]

Thank you! The modular is a lot of fun for sure. I need to do a new track on that soon.

[@shadowfall2823]

Awesome tour, loved watching this.

[@audiogus2651]

[@MySynthDungeon]

Nice walkabout!! Cheers!;-)!!!

[@drbrownmusic]

Very nice, I appreciate you taking the time to put this together.

[@mrz80]

"...not as impressive as some assumed." Um, no, it's pretty darned impressive. For inveterate gearheads like I am, racks and racks of synths is excellent. Living somewhat vicariously thru people like you, I guess, since the wife would widow herself if I started accumulating keyboards the way I was accumulating guitars there for a while. :D Of course, what REALLY makes it all so impressive is the quantity and especially QUALITY of the music that comes out of the far side of all this gear. NICE!

[@stateazure]

Thank you!

[@mchockney3664]

"Probably not as impressive...." Followed by me drooling over an absolute dream-Synth lineup worth a nice family car. I'd call that very impressive, indeed!

[@SupernaturalDarkness]

Thanks for the tour! Great studio.

[@Jordanlopezmusic]

Badass! Thanks

[@eddemans]

You have an amazing studio chock full of cool equipment. Mind blowing you make your stuff in basically a "normal bedroom"!

[@YarnuDog]

Amazing setup, and smooth as voice my friend.

[@stateazure]

Thank you!

[@tonupphil]

That is impressive 👍

[@albshore8]

😭 It's sooo beautiful👍

[@stuartmalin661]

More impressive than you can imagine, State! This "small" space is the Universe that enables the Magic of your flowing Imagination to emerge into audible expressions. That you can manipulate this machinery to create pleasing soundscapes is mind-boggling to me. But then, you'd find amazing that I create Story Worlds (fiction) from nothing but keys tapping on a keyboard. We share creativity, and likely share a sense of deep Gratitude that a muse moves through us. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@stateazure]

Thank you, Stuart!

[@ottermods3212]

Absolutely love your studio set up! I have been enjoying your music for many years, so it's very cool to see where the magic happens. Thanks for taking us on a tour.

[@stateazure]

Thank you!

[@DaveInLAS]

Your music vibe is also in your voice, both come from the spirit. Thank you for your videos they've helped me tremendously during my neck surgery recovery 🙏🏼🙌🏼😎🤙🏼

Glad to hear that! Thank you!

[@VisionsMusicGroup]

Beautiful, man. Beautiful!! Thank you so much for sharing your space ❤

[@telumatramenti7250]

I honestly wish the DTs (I have a 990PRO) came with different ear muffs. These ones seem to collect sweat and look and feel absolutely awful in only a few months. And, of course, they are gray, so the dirt is also perfectly visible. Taking them off and washing them time and time again seems to be the only way.

[@matthieujoly]

Really impressive !! Thanks for the tour! We do now know all about where the magic happens..

[@hvcomputech]

“This works for me”. Oh this works for US perfectly! ❤

[@johnb2044]

[@distantidentitymusic]

Finally brother thanks

[@BeautifulMachines]

We've been fans for years now, following your channel and your journey. Interesting bit, we're just around the corner from you geographically speaking for the next day, so I thought I'd give a virtual wave. Love that you also use Bitwig as we do for a few years now. But wow! Impressive studio, walls of synths and modular creations. We can just space out to your ambient tracks and lustrous modulated beautiful reverbs and spaces. Thanks for making this music.

[@Heavens_Dome]

love it

[@neonvoid]

Awesome toy collection, but first and foremost you are a fantastic & talented artist, and no hardware or software can measure up to that. Mesmerizing synth / controller collection, and always top notch videography as well. Keep up the fantastic work.
