How to Utilize Unused Keyboard Realestate


High Diving Act

Recommended Posts

There is a ton of unused space on my VR700. I had a clear picture of how I could use it and house most of the gear I need at an arms reach. This is why I really felt the Korg Microstation would make a nice sonic and logistic addition to my rig. Here is what I did.

 

Step 1. Cut down 2 metal cloths hangers.

Step 2. Bend to size and fasten to existing music stand mounts

Step 3. Affix a bit of duct tap to protect hood of board and a bit more just to make sure nothing moves

Step 4. Place microstation on racks

Still enough space on left side for a minivent and an Ipad on the right! lol

On my X stand 2nd tier, I fabricated a pvc attachment that slid into the pipes of the tier and rested on my Electro, to give me a 3rd tier for about 5 bucks in parts. Necessity, the mother of invention!

 

Nice job!

 

Here's mine:

Try it with links uploaded to imgur or something instead of DropBox. Dropbox redirects into its own web interface, when you click those links you aren't getting a direct link to the image file so you wouldn't be able to embed them.

Speaking of lamps,.. I got this a couple weeks ago from The Source (Radio Shack) for $4 dollars,.. double led gooseneck,.. pretty bright for either seeing whats going on on the panel or a music book. Takes 3 AAA batteries and looks like it would last 6 gigs or so.
