Thank you for this. I'd wondered for the longest while just what COULD these gentlemen be looking at on their Star Trek-like consoles. This provides the best insight to date, but for the most part that remains sheer conjecture, though it appears Herrn Huetter does most of musical keyboarding. For all that computing power at their disposal it still looks like hard work!
@@Linchpin_TF And they're pretty much at that state now - the whole thing is a recording studio, a phase lock looped integrated musical/lighting production system in four consoles.
I would pay 1000 us dollars for a ticket to see them at altered frequencies in Franklin NC. ( Probably not likely to happen, but I would pay that much if it actually happens 😎!!!)
Stellar videos! Thank you so much for posting. Can I ask what kind of camera you are using? The quality is fantastic and I want to film the Detroit show in october.
Serious question, I know they build and customize their own synthesizers, but is it possible to purchase synthesizers from them or a close approximation from a company? !
They are all using a sampler called the Machine (Spelt the german style if that helps) here, i have a friend that owns one of those and theyre fucking insane!
@@joshwizinsky1979 they use Reaktor, Monarch and the Virsyn Matrix Vocoder during this show. Watching the entire set is really impressive with how much work they're doing.
Wow, je was alle 8 avonden daar! Ik was alleen bij Autobahn, Radio-activity en Tour de France. Je hebt echt mooie video's gemaakt. Ga je ook naar Utrecht 3 en 4 juli Tivoli Vredenburg ?
I understand everything they do, except what Falk does. For me, he is faking "live video manipulation" almost all the time :) I think he does a lot of work behind the show, but his realtime live contribution is quite doubtful for me. But... KW always presented themselves as "fantastic four"...
I don’t understand what Falk is doing either, as the buttons he press don’t correspond to the video, but, is it really fake??? I can’t imagine how BORING it would be to stand up there having your hand on a screen for 2 hours… anyone would go crazy, even him. there has to be some degree of manipulation, even minimally?
You can’t from 6:00 until he leaves stage, everytime he touch the screen, the scene changes. I think he can control the moviments by pressing these buttons and also has a programming stuff (the screen in white) with the order of the projections. Wish I know what app is that - and it is a iPad
@@RafaelOliveira-go1iwAs I understand it, they have Lemur OSC on their iPad. A controller that can be customized as you wish. Various faders, sliders, and more
You can tell by Ralph's facial expressions twards the end here that he loves what he does :)
THE KINGS OF TECHNO ARE KRAFTWERK...nobody compares.

With fantastic results! !!
It's crazy how they used to carry their entire studio behind them but now all that equipment can be contained in just a computer
In an interview from 1981, Ralf once said that he dreamed that all their hardware could fit into a single suitcase.

Karftwerk at is greats, I wish they came to America

Native Instruments Maschine MK3
looks like they have and use lots of Native Instruments gear (keyboards, drum machines, synths)
@@paulieslim any ideas what VSTs they're running?

Ableton Live
Music Sftware :)
noo they are using cubase !!!!!!
They're suing Ableton and MAC now
No Yann Flitzer :'(
Yann Flitzer doesn't exist. It was Stefan Pfaffe, who is now replaced by Falk Grieffenhagen.
He's the secret 5th member of Kraftwerk xd
