Apparat's Live Setup

US Ableton explore how their shows come alive      25/09/26

Ableton are back again with another rig rundown - this time looking at Apparat's Live Setup. The setup is based around a live band, with Ableton at the heart of the tempo, with each song set up as a scene. Combining live performance with a solid palette of sounds in the box, allows them to walk the line between chaos and control. The guys are about to embark on an Autumn Tour 2026, around Europe in October.
