ProfD Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Do you all ever have or worry about hand/wrist issues from playing multiple boards? Playing correctly on one board is hard enough according to the Carpal Tunnel School of Music. PD "The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love and be loved in return."--E.

lerber3 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Stack 'em and center them... never even considered lining up the notes. I play seated, a nastier issue is getting boards close without covering up controls and knobbage. Upper boards also cast shadows onto lower controls... does anybody have lighting built into their rig? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dp2 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Moonglow, I like that combination. I also use a Kurzweil/Korg combo (K2600XS and Oassys). They're both 88-key keyboards, and I also line them up where everything is aligned and centered about middle C, the lowest A, and highest C. This way they're aligned and parallel.

Playing correctly on one board is hard enough according to the Carpal Tunnel School of Music. I think about it all of the time. I prefer to play on a single keyboard while sitting, and on multiples while standing. Nevertheless, I try to set up my rig so that I can play comfortably whether sitting or standing.

Byrdman Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I line up the middle C's. Just started doing it recently - used to line up centers of boards but realized my hand position on the top board at the high end was quite awkward, so now the top board is half an octave further left. My idea fixe is getting the boards as close as possible together. I am using my top stand arms backwards so those end hooks don't stick out too.

Rick K. Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I also line up my C's... I try to get them so that my wrists are not too bent either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Pierce Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Naw, I have my Micron way off to the right, it's velcroed to the top of the Electro! Works great when I'm playing lead-ish stuff on the Micron. Sucks if I want to do left-hand pads on it, though. I basically can't do that. --Dave Make my funk the P-funk. I wants to get funked up.

Maybe I should take those pics I promised him and PM him. Who knows, maybe Dave Horne p**sed him off again. :grin: "In the beginning, Adam had the blues, 'cause he was lonesome.
