Here's an interesting setup I'm using for the next week. I'm a part of a production of Beauty & The Beast, and this is my setup for the gig. Kurzweil, MacBook for MainStage, & iPad for Sampl. :)

Just finished a production of 'Legally Blonde.' PC3le6 as controller with an RD-700GX as the main keybed (and sample player for a few sound effects), both running into an Integra-7.

 

I tried this gig with my little Peavey KB3 amp, and regretted it; going back to a solo Mackie SRM for the next one. I still haven't found a good solution for creating decent ambient sound (so others in the pit can hear me, but not too loud) as well as a personal monitor that ensures I can always hear myself play when the band gets kickin'.

Posted an unpacking thread...but thought I would join this party. Here is my rig with the new Moog Sub 37 added. Since I was adding a third tier, I took the opportunity to unrack my Prophet 08 to get it in better position for knob twiddling:

Here's the last Gig setup I used before I retired from active playing. This setup used the KISS principal. My rack case and mixer were against the wall behind the Yamaha, so you can't see much of it.

 

 

Cheers!

Here are some pics of my updated gig rig, Yamaha MOXF8 on the bottom and MOXF6 on top. The upper board is also driving the Roland VK-8M clonewheel module. Note the aircrafts in the background. The pictures were taken from flight deck of USS Midway in San Diego where I played a gig yesterday :)

 

 

Pretty simple setup, but that's the point. Quick setup and teardown. Here is the rig in the garage ready to go:

Sorry, I had to! It feels like I haven't been on this forum in forever, and I don't think I've shown any pictures of my rig in another few eons either... So here's my setup which I'm still absolutely blown away by. Not pictured is my Roland AX keytar which I also used tonight. If you haven't checked any of these keyboards or modules out, do soyou'll thank me later!

Very nice Kenny! Those two Casios look lovely together, although I think my favourite bit of it has to be the egg shaker storage system ;)

Yeesh, for the last time: it's EOS! Not an egg shaker, USB, or goo coming out of the USB jack. :P Sor-REE for not wanting dry lips for a performance. ;)

Couple shots of the rig I used for a show with my Pink Floyd tribute this past Saturday.

 

Hammond SK1-73, Roland FA08, Moog Little Phatty, Novation Ultranova. On the rack is a Ventilator and a Behringer 6 channel mixer. In the rack is another Behringer 16 channel line mixer, a Furman power supply, and a graphic EQ that I'm not using with this configuration. Speakers are 2 EV ELX15P's running in stereo. I'm running a Boss SDD6 delay pedal on the Moog, used for a long ping pong delay effect on one of the songs.

 

I used the small mixer on top of the rack to mix the sub output of the FA08, which was the line out for the samples used for sound effects, and the output of my line mixer in the rack, to feed the speakers. We ran the sub out into it's own DI so the FOH could control the level of the sound effects and to give them their own channels on the pro tools recording we did.

This is my current rig minus the X-stands which I only use at home for practice. Otherwise both boards reside on a Quicklok Z-726L stand.

Excellent, Dan :2thu:

I spotted the Boss Delay unit you were on your way to purchase after we had lunch last year.

 

Hey DanL, what type of stand do you have the Novation and the Moog sitting on?

 

Yes, that is in fact an Invisible Stand. There is one available now to purchase in the classified section. Surely Tony will autograph it for you. :D

I guess the A 100 stays put also. I have a '61 looks just like that. Glad that Kawai is working out for you. :thu:

Yes an invisible. It fits those boards perfect. I'm the original owner, bought it in 1986!

My setup for my singer-songwriter gig:

 

 

http://s17.postimg.org/bb85hhd1r/rig.jpg

 

 

The PX5s and Electro really combine very well. I really like the easy setup. No midi. Pure fun.

 

EDIT: forgot to mention my new K&M 18880 stand. I really like it. The boards are stacked close on top of each other, but because of the depth of the stand I can still see the screen of the PX5s.

 

Not in picture: my K10 and small Phonic mixer are to the right of my bench.

Here are a couple of pictures of 2 of my Synths that I set-up today for a gig that I'm going to be playing tomorrow night.

 

are you endorsed by Roland? :laugh:

 

I think that I probably should be at this point. :D (Or at the very least I should maybe get a free T-shirt out of them or something.)

 

I've owned tons of KORG's over the years, (M1, 01/W, Krome, etc.) as well as keyboards from just about every other manufacturer that you could possibly think of, (CASIO, YAMAHA, ENSONIQ, E-mu, KURZWEIL, HAMMOND, SEIKO, OBERHEIM, etc., etc...) but for some reason I'm definitely on a bit of a ROLAND kick at the moment, you're right. I didn't 'plan' it that way...it just sort of...happened, ya know? I definitely think that their equipment delivers a bang for the buck, that's for sure.

 

In fact, if you want to see 'brand diversity', here's a picture of my Rig from exactly a year ago at the same venue:
