The Virus TI On Stage - Depeche Mode's Delta Machine Tour

Ben Adams and Jez Webb took the time walking us through the Instrument Setups at the Hamburg Stadium before the Depeche Mode Gig on June 17th, 2013. Ben explained the use of the Virus Polar by Andy Fletcher and the Virus TI by Peter Gordeno. Jez showed us Martin Gore's guitar Setup.

Ah the virus. You're looking at the keyboard that literally gave trance music its dominance in the late 90s early 00s. Legendary machine.

[@ZZKJ396]

LOL, 0:30 "Keyboard Tech" guy, points at the Virus TI Polar... "Here we have a Virus Indego ... small version"...! This is the guy in charge of the keyboards?!?!

[@jamdonut7692]

Indigo????

[@user-fc4ls4hc2m]

GREAT

[@nucek.planet]

super, bardzo mi sie to podobalo

[@politesociety]

Damnit Access/Kemper, Depeche Mode use Multi Mode, wish you guys would release an editor/patch librarian for the TI series multi mode. Nothing fancy, just need to drag and drop patches, and set up keyboard splits/etc. It's such a pain the arse for us at the moment.

Where did Mart's synths mysteriously disappear from the original video?

[@GraveyarDisciple]

Isnt that the Polar?

[@303machine]

Polar is just a name for shorter and white version of Virus TI.

[@muzikman2008]

Nice!.. needs some blu-tac on that mic tho lol... surprised how much is actually live regarding keys.

[@ravager06]

des setup is a eigene wissenschaft :)

[@johnblackmouth]

C'mon we all know Andy doesn't actually PLAY the keys. No need to lie bro ;)

[@Lofote]

He does live clap however, and sometimes he even hits the rhythm :-D

[@henkhansum5507]

The video camera moves much-too-much, which is a pity imho. A reliable, stable, at least vertically fixed (non-moving, non-shaking) video recording would put a positive effect on focussing on the message at display.

[@EnlightenMeBand]

[@DefinitelyAPotato]

It's Depeche Mode's "Precious" at the start of the video.

[@spicecrop]

If it is not a WALDORF it is not a synth.
