What is the Gemini Module?

Just received this and I love it. Works beautifully. Just one problem- there is no surface area on my midi keyboard which is large enough to place it. So I've come up with a MacGyver solution but I'm open to suggestions. It may not be clear what I've done in the photos but basically I clamped an OnStage iPad holder onto the tubing of a mic stand. I then clamped the D9x to the surface of the holder (where I would normally place my iPad). Then I placed the iPad holder in horizontal position with as little extension in the holder arm as possible. I found that because the holder is designed for iPads not D9x units, I needed to set the D9x on a piece of non-skid shelf liner (the white stuff) to ensure that the frame securely grabbed the D9x. Because the D9x is all metal construction, it's heavier than I thought it would be. To minimize wobble, I butted the mic stand tube against the back of my Nektar keyboard, then applied gaffer tape. The current setup is placed where I need it (needs to be at left end of keyboard). I can live with this setup (I will get some black shelf liner to replace the white), but I'm open to other ideas. I looked at various trays sold by K&M (I have an 18820 stand) but none of them would allow placement of where I need the DX9 to be.

Is this a K&M product? nevermind, i see the link now

I ordered this. Looks very stable but the clamp is for a tube rather than a rectangular bar. That was a non starter for me so I'm returning it for a refund.

We'll see how well it works for me over the longer term. So far, so good. I realized right away that I needed to designate a specific place to keep the allen wrench, which will be in the small front pocket of my gear bag. I will probably carry a second one for security. The way I have my iPad set up, the bottom edge leans against the top back of the upper keyboard- so sagging shouldn't be a problem. I just couldn't get the placement and angle for the iPad the way I want it with a less "maneuverable" holder. Haven't gigged with it yet so like I said, we'll see.

And the winner is: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09KC46XNJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 Decent quality. Very adjustable. I attached the clamp to the 2nd tier base cross bar. Holds my 12.9, very stable. Hinge points are tightened with a 4mm Allen wrench.

I use the Nektar GXP 88. Not bad at all for a semi-wieghted touch. Only drawback for me is there are so few assignable knobs. In fact, the mod wheel is the only really useful one. That said, I'm considering getting a control surface such as the StudioLogic Mixface or the Korg Nano Studio. I have a NanoKontroller 2, but the layout is too compact and the sliders and knobs are "fiddly". Either option Mixface or NanoStudio would hang over the back of the keyboard by about 2 1/2 inches, so I guess i'd have to attach with velcro. Any other options out there? I do like the layout and size of the Mixface interface better, but I don't have either one to actually lay my hands on

Wish there was a size that would handle the iPad Pro 12.9

I've just purchased the 18820 table stand with 2nd tier attachments. I'd like an iPad holder which I can attach to the end of each 2nd tier arm(see photo). I'd like to avoid multiple mic stands, and keep my iPads attached to the keyboard stand. I have a 10" and a 12.9" iPad. Suggestions?

Where does it sit in your set up? I'm using a Nektar GXP61 on my top tier for organ sounds. There's no "blank" space at either end of the keyboard to place it.

If I was going to use the keyboard at home only, I would have gone with the 2700. But alas, weight does matter.

I think what I may do if I purchase the PC4 88 is to use it on the bottom rack (especially for pianos), and use my iPad to power my Roland 49 on the top rack for organs and some synth sounds- all routed through Camelot Pro

So you're using a soft case. Does it have wheels, are you carrying it with a strap over your shoulder, or using a cart to move the keyboard?

Has anyone played both, and if so which do you prefer?
