_Setup

A live system designed for fluidity, control, and depth

KPLNT is built on a live system that’s minimal, expressive, and fully digital.
A setup designed to sculpt sound in motion — fluid, intentional, uncompromising.
At its core: Ableton Live, a Push controller, and a curated matrix of stems, layered and harmonically aligned for real-time performance.

All the sound sources are now 100% virtual instruments, carefully selected and refined to serve the project’s immersive narrative:
- Arturia V Collection and FX Collection for their modern analog depth
- Pigments and MiniFreak V for evolving, organic textures
- The modular power of UVI Falcon for precision sound design
- Effects and modulations used as gestures, not decorations

Each composition begins with a Yamaha Clavinova digital piano, where I explore harmonic ideas and melodies freely — following the mood, letting things surface.
Before becoming techno, the music is emotional. Intimate. Rooted.

Part of the setup also carries my musical history:
- A Roland MC-303, from when I was 17
- A JX-305, companion of my 21-year-old self
- A Novation MiniNova and Circuit, to stay in touch with tactile synthesis and hands-on sound shaping

Today, the heart of KPLNT is fully VST-based — compact, refined, reliable.
Every sound has been carefully designed and adapted to fit into the modular stem system, ready for transformation on stage.

The studio is based near Paris — at the edge of urban intensity and open countryside.
A vital balance that feeds the KPLNT world: structured but alive, introspective yet open to expansion.
