The Ocean reveal how they use Logic Pro to control their Quad Cortex guitar tones and even their lighting in a new rig tour

The Ocean guitarists Dave and Robin.

The Ocean have an immense live sound – they're one of the greatest heavy progressive bands around when it comes to delivering their ambitious concept albums onstage, and their musical mindset carries through to their rigs too. Now, thanks to this exclusive new rig tour video below they've shot on tour in the US, we can find out exactly how it all works. 

At the centre of the guitar rig is a MacBook running Logic Pro that has the whole show's setting in sequence via a session file – "This machine controls the Quad Cortex which is our amps and effects via a MIDI program and control changes," explains The Ocean's Robin Staps.
