Lou Gehrig Charles Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Dual Casios last night at a local beer garden/restaurant/brewpub. They placed us on the porch at the very last minute due to the imminent threat of rain but that meant we were REALLY close together since no one wanted to be out from under the small covered area. I think the drummer was close enough to reach the higher end of my boards! I couldn't even step back far enough to get my sweet Z stand in the shot! Fortunately when the rain did come it wasn't windy enough to get us wet but I was ready with the stack of napkins at the far end of the keyboard. Just in case. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgoo Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 2 rigs for 2 very different bands... Longtime sideman for local artist with pretty substantial following (doing primarily original material): The Wurlie doesn't make it out for every gig, but I bring it when I can. The gig is about 60% Organ, 30% Wurlie & 10% M-Tron and a few gems from Omnishpere supplied from the laptop. 10 piece classic rock cover band (with 3 pc strings & 2 piece horns): Total VST rig. NUC computer mounted to my pedalboard running Gig Performer & lots of softsynths. That's an Omega Pro stand. Its 2nd tier doesn't allow for the keys to be that close together, so I fashioned a little prop (secured with Velcro): 8 5 Quote Custom Music, Audio Post Production, Location Audio www.gmma.biz https://www.facebook.com/gmmamusic/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Mike. I have 2 of the mic arms that hook to the stand via this adapter. One for the touchscreen & one for the iPad (running charts & program changes). This pic shows the adapters that hook to the Omega stand, without the mic arms hooked up. The wood piece is velcro-ed to both adapters. The M-Audio is Velcroed to the top of the wood piece and then sits on the Roland FP-30x. Not very elegant, but it works & is solid! 1 1 Quote Custom Music, Audio Post Production, Location Audio www.gmma.biz https://www.facebook.com/gmmamusic/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did something similar with my StandTastic stand, but eventually found that the 48" StandTastic didn't need it (I could put the back of the upper keyboard on the uprights, and the front on the lower keyboard with velcro to lock it in place). I'll see if I can fabricate something similar for my needs. 1 Quote Pat http://www.patazzarello.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll see my DI's, NUC (with a USB hub on top), MOTU interface, Vent and sus pedals mounted. There's also a mounted Expression pedal out of view. Everything that's mounted is mounted via Velcro. I need to redo the pedal board (the whole thing is HEAVY), but as is, it's functional. The monitor is a fairly inexpensive touch screen. Connects & is powered via Thunderbolt. I usually don't use speakers with this band- I use In Ears, but this was a date with a high school orchestra, so I wanted to keep it simple for the sound guy. 2 1 Quote Custom Music, Audio Post Production, Location Audio www.gmma.biz https://www.facebook.com/gmmamusic/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a great example of what probably looks like a "simple" 2 keyboard setup from the audience, but the floor tells a different story. It would be easy for the lay person to think - what, 2 keyboards and a speaker, what's the big deal? But we all know too well the reality behind the facade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have this thing where the larger board has to go on the bottom as it’s usually a piano. In this case the A800 is a bit wider and, dare I say, better to play piano on than the CK. However, it’s a nice tidy little rig with few wires.

kpl1228 Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Been building gear for weekend warrior stuff for about a year now. I'd say I'm ready to go find me a band or two after a decade out of the weekend game. Motif XF7, RD2000, Mojo. That'll make the bar patrons cover their ears. And yes, that is an Invisible stand. Love that thing. 4 Quote Roland RD-2000, Yamaha Motif XF7, Mojo 61, Invisible keyboard stand (!!!!!), 1939 Martin Handcraft Imperial trumpet "Everyone knows rock music attained perfection in 1974.
