  1. That's so awesome, David! I used to play one in the early 1980s (it was part of the other keyboardist in the band's rig) and had such a unique sound. I never thought the Juno 60 sounded as good. I don't know for sure if they changed any components, but something was different in the sound. Finding one in mint condition is great fortune - good luck with it! Yeah, I'm really grateful that I found one in great condition. I've been looking for a 6 for quite some time - more than a year. They are pretty hard to find here i Denmark, and there's only been one(!) for sale in the entire country for the last couple of years or so. Suddenly an acquaintance called me up and was like: "Hey, are you still looking for a Juno 6? I have one that I don't use anymore". And then he sold it to me for a really good price. Thank you! Just ordered a hardcase for it so I can bring it with me on gigs. It's gonna be great!
  2. A lovely almost mint condition Roland Juno 6 arrived last week. Analog goodness from 1982. Needed a poly in my live rig, which will now consist of the following: Rhodes MK II --> EHX Stereo Pulsar --> Xotic EP Booster --> Strymon Timeline --> T-Rex Reverb --> Fender Hot Rot Deluxe. Moog Sub 37 --> MXR Talkbox --> EHX Memory Boy --> PA. Roland Juno 6 --> I need a new reverb pedal, thinking about a Strymon Bluesky --> PA. Now I just need a roadie But my rig has never sounded better! Pictures of some of the stuff can be found on my Instagram. I play live hiphop and jazz.
  3. Just got a Xotic EP Booster to put before my Strymon Timeline on my pedalboard. My Rhodes has never sounded better, and this combination really gets close to the original Echoplex sound. Love it!
  4. I'll chime in with the others - used one for several years and never had any issues with it. I'm not that heavy handed when playing, so I haven't experienced any wobbling. I wasn't a fan of the angled top tier either, but I lived with it, so I guess it didn't bother me that much. Great stand all in all!
  5. Yeah, that's him. What's funny is that around the 2-minute mark you see a shot of a Kronos + Moog on an X-stand. I'm pretty sure that it's Cory Henry's rig from when he plays with his funk project, perhaps they played a few songs before/after the taping of the show? Anyone know anything about that?
  6. Thanks. The set in the middle is straight like the one on the bottom. It makes it easier to stack them closer together. I don't think I would have been able to stack all three keyboards if the two top sets were angled, it would take up to much space and 'push' the bottom board to far down for me to be able to play it without problems. Again, I'm playing standing - if one were to sit it could be done with two angled sets above the straight bottom one.
  7. Hi everyone. I guess this is my first 'real' post on the forum. My name is David and I have written a short introduction of myself in the Introductions thread. This thread has been a great inspiration! Keyboard stands and figuring out how best to stack my boards are a somewhat guilty pleasure of mine, so it's been fun to see what and how you guys are doing it. This is not a stand construction per se, but it is however an upgrade to my stand - a K&M Spider Pro. Up until now I have been using the Spider Pro in conjunction with a tabletop style stand in an L-shape, placing my rack and pedal board in the 90 degree 'corner' of the L. This took up a lot of space on stage and I never felt comfortable with playing in the L-shape. A couple of weeks ago my local music shop sold me an extra set of arms for the Spider Pro for approx. 20 USD. I figured that I might as well give it a try and see if I could fit all three boards on the Spider Pro. I play standing up so the bottom board needs to be relatively high. And it worked! I know that the picture isn't that great, but it does give you an idea of how close I have been able to stack the three keyboards, while still having access to the knobs on the Nord Lead in the middle. The sliders on the PX-5S come out under the left end of the Lead, so they are easy to, well - slide. I primarily use two presets on the Casio (rhodes and wurlitzer), so I don't need great access to the Stage Setting buttons on the right. Furthermore I have been able to fit my pedalboard with effects and a sustain pedal under the legs of the Spider Pro - and my rack I place standing up next to me. The result is that I use up approx. 50% less space on stage + I find it much easier playing with the three boards stacked like this instead of the L-shape. Success! http://oi60.tinypic.com/4g3p61.jpg
  8. Thanks, Mike! I can see that you found me on Facebook as well I have had some pictures taken as well as made two short videos showcasing the Rhodes- and Wurlitzer sounds I use the most (originally tweaked from your download-able sounds). They should come online on the Casio Europe site soon. I have to say that I'm impressed with the PX-5S - and I'm VERY impressed with the support that you are providing on here, FB and the Casio-forum.
  9. Hi everyone I'm a long time lurker on this forum, but this is my first post here. This forum has been a great source of inspiration for me - as well as a dangerous GAS-instigator My name is David - I'm a 24 yo part-time/hobby keyboard player from Copenhagen, Denmark. I have been involved in a lot of different projects, but at the moment I'm focusing on my own band 'DoktorDoktor' while I finish my Master of Rhetoric at the University of Copenhagen. In DoktorDoktor we play original live hip-hop with Danish lyrics. We released our debut album on an indie label in the Spring of 2014, which was great. You can check out some of our (old and low-budget) videos or . I'm am endorsed by Casio Music Europe, so my live keyboard rig has the Casio PX-5S as the "anchor". It's a great keyboard and it has been a welcome addition to my rig, both sound-wise and weight-wise. Let me just say, I don't miss the days when I had to haul my (otherwise great sounding) Yamaha S90 XS + hardcase to the gigs myself. My live keyboard rig consist of the Casio PX-5S, a Moog Little Phatty St. II w. EHX Analog Delay and MXR Talk Box, and a Nord Lead 2X w. TC Electronic Chorus + Reverb. My rig has changed A LOT in the last couple of years (thanks, GAS), but now I feel like I have found a golden combo with great sounds, a lot of hands on control and a great low weight. (However, I have a plan/dream of upgrading the Moog to a Voyager and the Lead to a DSI P8 at some point). Here is a picture taken during sound check the other day so you can see the rig: http://i59.tinypic.com/15wz6u8.png My home rehearsal rig is driven by MainStage on a MBP - here I use a Korg SP200 and a M-Audio Axiom Pro as midi controllers - and a NI Komplete Audio 6 audio interface. I have taken the MainStage rig with me on gigs a couple of times, but I don't really trust it enough to rely on it completely. Maybe I'm just old fashioned. Anyways, that's about it. I'm glad I finally got around to posting here David
