Julia Bondar - Live rig

 One of my favourite Electronic Music artists is Julia Bondar.
I have never seen her live. Hopefully one day I will.
 
In addition to producing very danceable  electronic music, she is the co-founder of
Endorphin.es.
 I bought one of their early eurorack modules I think 10 years or more ago,
A FuthRRRR generator
 
 
 It had the label: Vienna/Austria, though I think the company is now based in Barcelona, Spain.


It's inspired by the Buchla 259


Anyway, getting back to her live Euro setup:
It mainly consists of Endorphins.es modules.
She does use a Arturia Beatstep Pro as her main sequencer and a Roland system 1M.
The compressor she uses when performing live is a TC Electronics Finalizer Express.

The Modules as of 2020/21 are:
Milky Way x 2 --- stereo effects/VCA
Cockpit x 2 -- 4 channel performance mixer with send/return & compressor
Squark Dirty - filter
Airstreamer - envelope generator - AD or Looping ASR
Godspeed - VCO
Autopilot - vco tuner           
Sample Drum - Erica Synths
Magneto - Strymon - delay
Shuttle Control x 2 - MIDI/USB & PSU

FurthRRRRRRRRRR Gen - VCO
Running Order - two track trigger sequencer/euclidean/clock divider/
Queen of Pentacles -- 909 drums

Grand Terminal - two multifunctional dual function generators
                            (they can loop and become oscillators), 
                            2 filters -Transistor Ladder/ resonant LPG/diode ladder/
                            vactrol LPG/State Variable LP/HP/BP/Comb
                            FX processor/generator.
                            You can use this module as a full synth voice. 

The Main Audio seems to come from the Furthrrrr Generator & Grand Terminal.
The bass lines come from the Roland System-1M (SH - 101 plug out) & Godspeed.
 
A good "Bass voice" is the 
Godspeed VCO>Squawk Dirty VCF>Airstreamer EG>Milky Way FX/VCA

Since the last post her rack has changed slightly.
(Spring 2021)
Julia is has swapped one of her shuttle controls for a Ground Control.
She is now using this instead of the Beatstep ??

Looks like the Roland System 1-M is still there.

There is also a "Golden master" -- EQ, Compressor, side processor etc 
There is a mutable instruments clouds, a total recall (CV preset manager) & a two cups (sample player)
The case has also dropped the Strymon Magneto & the Auto Pilot.

The new case is an Intellijel Stealth.
