Is it just me or is there no Waltz beat with this keyboard?

Nice carpentry TJ. How much does that dual-shelf weigh?

 

Would look even better with the A61 of course, but either way the nice thing about this all-Roland rig is both boards have matching crappy actions! (Joke)

 

Someone posted a pic of a RD64+VR09 a little while back - that looks like a nice restricted-space rig. I'm working on my own "cramped venue" rig (61 below a Nord 73) and will post in a more appropriate thread later...

 

Cheers, Mike.

Thanks, but all I did was took the dimensions to a cabinet builder, he cut up some scrap 16mm MDF on his big cutting bench in about 3 minutes, I gave him $20AUS, took it home, counter sunk and screwed it together with 4 screws and then painted it with some aerosol can flat black.

It weighs 7.93Kg I'll have to have a look for that photo of the RD64. I was considering the A-61, but it has too many buttons/controls and ends up being too wide to fit snugly under the VR-09.

Thanks TJ01WA!

 

I must say, that is very nice looking and professional looking - I am now inspired to do something similar. Although I doubt mine will look half as nice...

 

The dimensions of the shelf are:

1 x 410 x 965 x 16mm (Base)

1 x 250 x 965 x 16mm (Shelf)

2 x 240 x 50 x 16mm (Sides)

Thanks. The Music rest is one I made. It consists of two pieces of threaded rod stuck into the holes (they are 6mm diameter and you have to file the ends down to 5.5mm to fit the holes) I bent them in a vice together to get the right rest angle. The bottom piece of aluminium is a T shape to provide a rest for the sheets, the top two pieces are just L shape aluminium. Cut to the length of the keyboard it holds 5 A4 sheets. The shelf consists of two 16mm MDF board separated by two supports with two stop boards at the back. The dimensions allow the keyboards to sit with 1mm vertical between each other. The top board is staggered so that the A-49 can not disappear under the VR-09. It's all screwed together and screwed to the stand top.

I used a cheap Soundking DF018 stand which has had no problems and should fit the PK-9 pedals when I get them. I built a shelf out of laminated 16mm MDF that holds an A-49 below the VR-09 as a lower manual.

Does anyone know if the A-49 can be powered by the VR-09 USB out with the right cable. I know it can be powered by the USB input under the flap on the top, but it's not the best place to have a cable.
