Dig My Rig--Let's see your setup!


Recommended Posts



Heres a pic of my current rig (still under refinement). I have the what I believe are the final designs in my head, and will get that together in the next couple of weeks as I build pedalboards, etc.

I play primarily at church, so I keep most of my gear there. Here's my current Sunday morning rig:

Not sure where I will keep it all if I ever have to leave!

Roland FA-06

Nord stage 2

Yamaha mg06x

K&m 18810 stand

Cables from designacable, van damme cables with neutrik connectors

Big dog drum throne ( need to buy a higher stool to raise it all up) I usually stand but find it easier using 2 sustain pedals and organs pedal to sit down.

Oh yeh and that black barrel thing is my cats scratching post thing that I just bunged in to rest my monitor mixer on lol., I need to get the Yamaha connector to attach it to something in future.

Also a black sheet with Velcro stitched on and then then Velcro stuck underneath the Nord to create a skirt to hide all the mayhem of cables n stuff, looks smart from the front.

Oh yeh and I cut my old rubber darts mat up to make a grippy rubber base for pedals.

That's an amazing setup, but I feel bad knowing what those keyboards sound like though M-Audio monitors!

I was wondering if you get much noise from the neon sign. But that's DEFINITELY a cool setup.

I copied your rig, Rik.

 

Although I came to that wonderful instrument combination on my own after lots of research and trial & error.

 

I'll get pix up here one of these days. :D

Since I figured out how to post pics, Ill give it a shot. Some pics of my home studio and my current gig rig. 63'B3, 147 , Korg SV-1 ,wurli 200A, snth tower is Moxf8-Esq 1-Oberheim matrix6-Juno106 , then my newest board that Im in love with -72' Rhodes with xk3c on top ( my gig rig ) , 80'Rhodes suitcase with E7 clav on top. I play the B3 and Rhodes every day, unless I get the synth urge !

....thanks, yes its a bit over the top, but sometimes bargains come along that I cant pass up, hence the collection. Do I really need all this "stuff" ? no, not really but its a lot of fun. B3 / 147 for $1700, wurli for $500 , 72 Rhodes for $300, 80 suitcase for $500 etc etc. Only boards I paid close to retail was the moxf8 and the sk2 ( not pictured ).

Geez....great setup Ross, I would give my left arm to have a live setup like that. One day Ill use my B3 live but it was such a hassle getting it into my basement, I cant imagine it will ever happen. And a suitcase Rhodes....nice :thu:

Yeh it works well doesnt it.

 

Got both 2nd hand , both were under 6 months old and hardly used but saved a whopping £1500 doing that.

Think they work well together.

 

Did you sort out playing the sounds from the FA-06 from the Nordstrom keys?

I tried it and my studio sets didn't sync up.

I de-couple the roland's studio-sets from the Nord. That is, I turned off Program Change message transmit for both units. I only send Note on/off, CC (pedals & switches), Mod, PB, Aftertouch.

 

But I run everything via Cantabile on my Win8.1 tablet/convertible.

 

I call up a song on CanTab, which sends Bank Select and Program Change messages to each keyboard, calling up the correct Studio-set on the Roland and program on the Nord for that song. I have LOCAL off for each unit as well. All note info then goes into CanTab which routes it by key-range to the instrument and the channel that has the right sound for that range of keys, whether it's the entire FA-06 keyboard or the first 17 keys at the bottom of the Nord, or any other combination. CanTab takes care of all that split/layer stuff. The NS2 and FA06 are basically multi-timbral tone modules at this point (16-part Roland, 6-part Nord).

Thanks! In some ways, I think it's a little overkill, but at the same time, I think, "Eh...why not!".

I've been meaning to post my rig pix so I snapped a bunch while I put it all back together this evening after rehearsal yesterday.

 

I start with a custom cut Ultimate Support Systems "Tinker-Toys" stand that holds my 4-space rack and the keyboards on top of that, with the Dell 2-in-1 notebook on top.

http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m305/Koda_Vonnor/Misc/new_rig_01.jpg

 

The rack has all the cables connected and the tail ends coil up and fit inside for transport.

http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m305/Koda_Vonnor/Misc/new_rig_04.jpg

 

An Ultimate Support tablet-holder sits on top of a rotatable tube arm above and to the right of the keyboards.

http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m305/Koda_Vonnor/Misc/new_rig_02.jpg

 

The Nord Stage 2 has 1.5" diameter flat rubber feet mounted on the bottom front in the exact position to fit inside the top-front tubes of the stand. They fit rather tight and it takes a little pop to de-mount it from the stand. It is rock-solid stable.

The pedalboard is a Pedaltrain3 with two Yamaha FC7's and 2 FC5's plus a stomp switch for the Nord leslie speed (for times when my left hand is busy). For the purists out there, the right side FC-7 is dedicated to Nord organ swell. The cables from the pedals run to a Radio Shack project box where a panel-mount AMP multi-pin connector is wired up. The snake multi-pin connector mates up with that and the tail ends run up to the jacks on the back of the keyboards.

The whole thing sets up in less than 10 min.

The built-in mouse pad on the NS2 is very helpful.
