Dig My Rig--Let's see your setup!


Recommended Posts

Bumping this wih a pic of my humble setup for this season. First wedding of the year tonight, 90 more to go. Wonder what it will look like by the end...

 

FA-06 over Nord E4 SW73, with yamaha MG06 mixer and USB light from ikea for seeing buttons, etc. little beringher monitor and Hercules ipad holder for first dances/facebook/forum/watching films/rugby/Olympics (in the case of last year) when on auto-pilot mode. Perfect for what it does. Other gigs I mostly just use the Nord.

WOW! Korg O1/W FD. I used to gig with that 20 years ago.Are they cool again?
:idk I don't know if it's cool again. :cool: I just really like the instrument. :)

 

I just got one recently in trade for helping a friend move. Its got a nice airy, rich electronic sound to it.

 

What is your principal use for it, may I ask? Pads? Leads? Percussion?

Hi Franz

I use it for pads and leads, and I have a couple combinations that I will midi up.

For some of the material I am doing, it's nice to have a third keyboard with a synth action. It seems a little frustrating only having 2 choices sometimes.

My new worship band gig puts me with this gear once a month:

very 1970's. did you build the case yourself? looks good. :thu:

No, all that belongs to the church. The church's other campus has the same rig, too.

Primary playing out rig. Left-hand bass on R3, right-hand S90ES midi'ed out to SK1 (FC7 pedal controls SK1 presence/volume/expression).

 

The two items keyboard players who check it out comment on most: the Rolls PM55 velcroed under left end and a $5 gooseneck USB light plugged into the S90ES's USB port to illuminate the control panel area under the top board. Sometimes it's the little things . . . :roll:

nice Rick! what brand/model are the 1/4" cables running out of the sk1? I like what look like rock solid 90 degree plugs! thanks

 

also just noticed that your sk1 power cord is not run through the clip to the right - I'm always paranoid that the dc in plug will wear - seems flimsy to me, so I've been religious about running it through the clip...fwiw...

Thanks! Cables are all Monster Keyboard Cables, which I think have been discontinued but are still floating around. For this rig, I bought 2 12' cables, did some measuring to determine the unequal lengths needed to have upper and lower board cables to be of equal lengths on the mixer end of the "snake," and made 4 cables from the original 2 with some extra Monster plugs found on eBay. If you try this, Monster's cables are directional, so attention has to be paid to that, and the shielding is attached to the source/keyboard end plug but is not attached to the mixer/amp end plug - part of Monster's noise elimination scheme.

 

I know exactly what you mean about the SK1 supply, it seems very delicate. That power cable is tightly bundled in the "snake" that runs from the mixer end (where the power "brick" is) up to the various keyboard/mic/IEM amp cable ends (wrapped tightly at 6" intervals with Velcro cable ties, double wrapped at each end), and that power cord is wrapped in a way that it is fully supported from below and extends free-standing from the rest of the cabling exactly at the plug-in's level - so it exerts no vertical or horizontal pressure on the socket when plugged in. It is the last thing I plug in, I'm a bit paranoid about that connection.

Hey, I really like that setup! I've often considered going for a Piano lower/Organ upper setup just like that. Can you tell me what model of Fatar keyboard that is underneath the Hammond?

 

Kind Regards

Here are a couple of pictures of my (rather 'retro') set-up from sometime around last summer. Most of these synths are gone now, as I've pretty much revamped my entire keyboard rig. (In fact, the only two instruments that I even still own from these pictures are my trusty ROLAND D-50 and my ROLAND AXIS Controller.) I'll get some new photos of my current set-up taken soon.

And here are some photos of the same stage venue that were taken the year before with a slightly 'smaller' set-up of only 4 keyboards, (plus the AXIS, of course.)

Thanks guys! Sorry about that. (I should've labeled the pictures when I posted them.) The big 'silver-y' looking keyboard up on top in the Concert photos is a YAMAHA YPG-235. It's actually the only one that wasn't mine. It was already there at the School that night, so I figured that I'd just throw it up on top of the keyboard-stand to sort of 'fill out' the look of the set-up a little. In fact, you can see in the third photo, (labeled Concert Rig 3) that I never even had it plugged-in for the actual performance! :D

 

The keyboard with speakers in the other photo, (the one underneath the CASIO CZ-3000 and ROLAND JV-80 from Photo 1) is mine, however. It's an old Seiko DS-101 Digital Keyboard from around 1983. That was one of my first instruments back from when I started playing as a teenager, and I still have one, (just for sentimentality). As far as to what kind of music I make, (other than having played on my Church's Worship Team occasionally) I'm pretty much just a hobbyist who plays at home for fun. The town that I live in is pretty small, and there's not very many opportunities to play out live, unfortunately.

Bought a Casio the other day for practise and to take to one off gigs. I tried it last night just to make sure it worked - and it's not bad at all. The white actually looks really good when the lights are on.

 

Not as immediate as the Nord but feels great. Need to work on the EQ a little to make it sit better. Need to run it in stereo if only for the benefit for my IEMs - was weird having it dead centre of my head.

 

Also need to take the Christmas lights from my stand, too!

I played a gig this past Saturday on a stage with room and decided to bring out the Accugroove rig. It's a lot of trouble to setup, but what a sound. Already found a spot in the trailer and am going to start using it again.

My keyboard set-up has gone through quite a number of changes since just this past Summer/Fall, so I thought that I'd post some updated photos of everything in it's current incarnation. (Pictures of my old rig can be seen here. The only boards that survived the transition were my trusty ROLAND D-50 and AXIS-1 Controller.) A big "thank-you" goes out to my exceedingly generous and giving Wife who made most of this possible. (Good ole wheelin' & dealin' account for the rest.) ;-)
