One number for Amogh: the board should have at least 16 usable channels, and 24 would let us keep the three walk-up channels hot without ever repatching. (The committee spec was 32.)

Jaydeepdan, Nov 3 11:50a, 30 min: one SM58 + stand + a wedge is the whole set — unless you can put a keyboard and a tabla/dhol on the floor, which he asked for and cannot bring.
Aniket, Nov 3 1:10p, 1h, duo: 5 channels · 2 stereo DI boxes · 1 condenser for tabla · 3 wedges on 2 mixes · 1 power strip · floor seating. He brings guitar, processor, iPad and his tabla player. This is the opening-ceremony act — if one thing on the floor gets the full kit, it's this one.
itscharann, Nov 3 3:00p, 1h: a stereo pair, 2 channels — but he asked for CDJs and we have no deck confirmed. Need to know: is there a house DJ deck, and does the board take RCA?
Perrie, Nov 3 4:50p, 45 min: brings their own deck, needs 2 channels + table + booth monitor. Just tell us whether the board takes XLR or RCA from it.
DJ Chalk, Nov 3 5:40p, 45 min: he brings only headphones + USB sticks — he needs a house CDJ/XDJ or he cannot play. 2 channels off the mixer's master, plus a table and a booth monitor. Also: his 45 min collides with our 5:45p closing jam.
Acoustic Avadh, Nov 4 10:25a, 30 min: he brings nothing — he needs a house acoustic guitar and an electric guitar, plus an SM58, a stand and a wedge. Does the acoustic have a pickup (DI) or not (mic)? That answer finishes his patch.
Amerge × Subcult, Nov 4 12:40p, 1h: a group, not a solo — 2 SM58s + 2 line inputs for their interface + 2 wedges + a table, and probably more mics for the panel. We're asking them for a headcount and an instrument list; plan for 6 channels until they answer.
Alaska × Subcult, Nov 4 1:50p, 1h: plan 3 channels — 2 line inputs for a laptop + 1 DI for a guitar — plus a projector/screen, because live coding is meant to be watched. We first need to confirm who is in this hour and what comes out of the laptop.
Ayyussh, Nov 4 2:55p, 15 min: one SM58 + one guitar channel + a wedge. He brings voice and guitar and asks for nothing but good sound. Just tell us if his guitar has a jack (DI) or needs a mic.
Vedz, Nov 4 4:00p, 30 min: laptop, 2 channels, a table and a socket. He says he connects "via USB" — we're asking whether that's a USB audio interface (and what its outputs are), a USB stick, or USB into the mixer, before you patch anything.
huzzhouse, Nov 4 4:35p, 45 min: brings his own DDJ controller — most DDJs come out on RCA, not XLR. Please confirm the board has a free RCA pair or that an RCA→XLR cable lives on the floor. Plus table, power, booth monitor.
Devv Playz, Nov 5 10:00a, 30 min: he needs a house KEYBOARD + stand + stool + a jack-to-jack cable + a wedge — he brings nothing. 1–2 channels. If there is no keyboard on the floor, tell us this week so he can bring one from Pune.
Naman, Nov 5 4:00p, 30 min: 2 audio channels, but he asked for an AlphaTheta-compatible mixer, internet and AV — so we need to know whether he brings a controller, whether he needs a screen for the zk-proof visuals, and whether the internet has to be a hardline.
mannuu, Nov 5 4:40p, 1h: 2 channels off a club mixer — but he asked for CDJs + a DJM-A9 and brings nothing stated. Please tell us what deck is actually on the floor; his is the hour that closes the week.
0xMentalist, Nov 3 2:20p · Nov 4 9:40a · Nov 5 9:50a · Nov 6 9:50a: one wireless handheld mic, 1 channel, patched all week — a 10-minute trick every day, magic not music. Carved out of the OSO windows so no artist's time moved. The handheld is not on the house list — if production has none, we rent or buy one in Mumbai.
Thursday is intentionally all-OSO — the long goodbye, 9:30a to 4:00p (0xMentalist's trick at 9:50a), then the floor hands over to the Devcon team. The circle’s own rider covers it: about 10 channels standing by, and the three walk-up channels hot all day.
The circle itself needs about 10 channels standing by all week — 2 for Shaka's uke looper (1 stereo DI), 1 clip condenser for Alaska's sax, 2 line inputs for the ʻohana laptop, 3 walk-up channels kept permanently hot, and the 2 ambient mics. Plus 4 wedges and floor cushions. The one number we need from you: how many channels does the board have?
🌻 #NOONEISEVEROUT. Fourteen artists who applied are not on this floor — some told us they couldn't come, some we never reached, one is still an open call. Their set-ups stay on file, in their own words, so the next circle doesn't have to ask twice. Nothing here is being patched at Devcon 8.
