imagine all this stuff on top of an av cart:

i'm planning on using a laptop, a microphone, a midi controller, jjos2, a small mixer, an amp, and a home speaker system on the cart.

the laptop will be running Ableton Live and Reaper as a sort of live looping system, beatboxing and and sequencing using the midi controller ala "Kid Beyond" but with more instruments and oneshot samples

i figured out something cool: how to trigger different samples while beatboxing. ie, if you beatbox a kick into a dynamic mic, i can make Reaper spit out a midi note. if you beatbox a snare, i make Reaper spit out a different midi note. in this way you can actually use drum samples when beatboxing.

i've been beatboxing since i started producing, and while i'm not as talented as kid beyond, i am definitely good enough at it to use it as a type of midi controller. i've always dreamed of that.

this will be for performances, my own jamming
