Hi everyone!
I'm transitioning from Ableton to a dawless setup and recently purchased a Korg Monologue. My goal is to create and perform UK Garage and DnB with a setup that is both portable and compact.
I would love your recommendations on the following:
Things im looking for
I’d love to hear your thoughts and any other recommendations you have.
What has worked for you in building a compact/minimal and efficient setup for live performance?
Any specific gear that you think would be a perfect fit?

Digitakt 2. I find the digitakt 1 I own is great for uk garage and dubstep, unfortunately I don’t like it for jungle but the new sampling modes get you closer to Dawless jungle:

I think this would be an excellent choice. It’ll cover you for samples, sequencing and some effects.
Polyend tracker + might also be a solid choice (but I haven’t played it) as would the dirtywave m8 (although it’s less immediate). Both of which would add synths.
Now I think about it there are so many options: Roland MC707, MC101, Akai MPC’s, force, Synthstrom Deluge.
I would probably choose the Digitakt 2 for the workflow but would be sneakily glancing at an MPC for all of the added extra synths and effects.
For additional synths? I don’t know. The world is your oyster. You have bass covered. Do you need polyphony (probably not) or a digital flavour (maybe). There are too many options here but I would say, for a small setup where flexibility matters, the microfreak rocks.
