Yes the YC61 is working out great for me aswell. The cases I have for the YC61 and CP88 were smaller than standard 61 and 88 note cases. In fact I think I bought a 49 note case for the YC and either a 73 or 76 note case for the CP. Both the cases fit perfectly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've enjoyed threads where you've shared info about this stand. Is there one thread in particular where you really go into the details of how you built it? It's fantastic. I haven't used shock absorption with it, though I've thought about possibly adding a gas shock that would have the ability to hold it up without me needing to do that part. I think I've documented the details of this before - either on this forum or on the Nord User Forum. I'll look around and see if I can find it. If not, I could work on sharing the details. FYI, this is a rig I came up with 30+ years ago and it has been evolving over time. The latest rendition has been in service about 5-6 years and is my favorite version. I still have bits and pieces of prior versions, some still usable. I keep one at the rehearsal space and have another that could be brought to a gig if something happened to this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Back in the earlier days before Nords were part of my regular rig, I used a similar type of stand with a few different keyboards, most notably the Hammond XB-2, which was my steady companion from the early '90s until late '90s. If you click into some of the threads above, you'll see a picture or two. I had one version where I actually rested a Juno-106 over the XB-2, though it was far less mobile than the single keyboard rig. Since I've been primarily a Nord player for the 10+ years, my rolling and tilting stand has supported a NS2 88, NS2 EX 76, NS2 EX Compact, and NS3 Compact. My very first rolling stand was my guitar player's Anvil case for his Mesa Boogie guitar amp. I put my Roland JX-8P on top and held it down with duct tape. This was around 1988-1989. I have pictures somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Juno on top of the Hammond sounds like a recipe for disaster given how high the center of gravity probably was, I'd be wary of using something like that on a small stage. 1 Quote Instruments: Walters Grand Console Upright Piano circa 1950 something, Kurzweil PC4-88, Ibanez TMB-100 Studio Gear: Audient EVO16, JBL 305P MKII monitors, assorted microphones, Reaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synthaholic Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I snapped this after I started breaking down this evening. Tonight was the first time that I set up my keyboards in an L shape since 1984. No lie. Not extremely practical but I enjoyed it. That's a Fusion on the dreaded X-Stand. First time I've ever used one of those type stands at a gig. It didn't collapse. 👍 (Side note on this: I brought that little JBL along to run out of the Sub Out of the Spacestation to add some bottom to my keys but I wasn't getting a signal. I'll have to investigate further. I ended up using the EV's pass thru/output. I send a separate effect send to the EV and just usually dial in bass and drums but tonight I had to add keys. It sounded good because it was outside but I like having different instruments assigned to separate speakers.) 4 Quote The fact there's a Highway To Hell and only a Stairway To Heaven says a lot about anticipated traffic numbers People only say "It's a free country" when they're doing something shitty-Demetri Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why, but I've always really liked L shaped keyboard rigs, especially when there is one board serving as a 'master' with the other boards acting as modules, and their internal keybeds are only used when necessary. If I were you, I would swap the X stand for a double braced one, even with a lighter keyboard like the Fusion, the single brace stands are very wobbly. That and I once saw the death of a Korg X5 by way of single braced X stand, when the bottom foot snapped off the brace. It was not a pretty sight.

AnotherScott Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 My latest "main keyboard set," two angles. Usually, I gig with two boards, The three boards on the left are the three from which I expect those two to be most often selected. Depending on the gig, I'd either use the bottom two (giving me the hammer action on bottom, and probably the strongest 2-board combination overall), or I might use the top two (giving me a smaller, lighter rig, and optional use of the top board as a keytar). Though I'm still not completely sure about going with such a deep board for the hammer action option, it feels foreign! The rest of the rig is stuff I'd rarely gig with, but I might, esp. for the occasional gig where I do a lot of classic/prog 70s stuff, just for fun. But it's also there for my home projects. I also wouldn't rule out bringing some additional gear to some of the 2-board gigs now and then. Even with all these boards, it looks kind of naked without the MODX7 which I've relied on so much in recent years. It could still find its way back into picture. But unless I add a "90 degree" board along the back wall, something would have to go... 3 Quote Maybe this is the best place for a shameless plug!

Adam Burgess Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Simple and clean for last night! They're a lot slimmer and lighter than the Kronos 73 and Numa Organ they replaced. 2x Arturia Keylab mkIIs, a Spider Pro, and an XR18 in the little rack on the floor. Off to the right is the MacBook on a Gibraltar GEMS stand. Powered and MIDI I/O'ed through an OWC USB C hub that's also in the rack. Also, one of the best little things I've bought in ages - the Korg i3. Got it for one trio gig at Christmas when the drummer couldn't make it. Paid for itself on that one gig! Love it Great for little gigs, keys feel ok and it sounds more than fine. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleer Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 He’s got the i3! He’s got the i3! Same thoughts here. Amazing little keyboard. Even looks like the M1 of yore. And the sounds are pretty good. (On another note, where was that gig? Looks like a great seaside bar.) Edit: Emirates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Organ palm-smears seem to find a slight sharp edge but not enough to catch. I feel like the 88 bottoms out a bit too soon, but I'm still playing with the velocity curves; maybe I'm hitting it too hard? Early days and sure I'll get used to it! Aftertouch is great - was severe out of the box - but the keyboards are a lot more responsive than, for example, a Kronos where you've got to really lean in to the point of snapping a key. And the second pic is from Dubai just before sunset! Weather is great at the moment - but due to get stupid hot soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
