I-missRichardTee Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Dealing with not seeing screen of keyboard, nor the iPad. is leading me to willingness to carry some kind of stand that will block the light which makes seeing the keyboard impossible. I am doing more and more outdoor gigs, and need a solution. Also , on a recent gig, my keyboard became an attraction for flying ants, or termites or whatever they were. I would not use an insecticide, but something to dissuade them from crawling all over the keyboard! You don't have ideas, ideas have you We see the world, not as it is, but as we are.

Then, in the winter, sometimes it gets cold. Outside. Like WTF.

AnotherScott Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 If only... someone... had asked... about this... before. What those links have in common is that they are about playing outdoors, but they are not all about the sun issue. One was about heat, another was about rain, so not relevant to the question at hand. But anyway, one answer I didn't see here or there (though I'm sure I typed it in yet some other related thread) is that I've been told that it's easier to read some of the screens outside if you wear the kind of polarized 3D glasses that are given out in movie theaters these days. Though I'm not sure whether if it needs to be a certain type, and I haven't tried it myself. I'd be curious to know if anyone tries it. Maybe this is the best place for a shameless plug!

EscapeRocks Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Hahaha!!! Here's a beepin answer for you regarding shading the screen on a keyboard. When we started doing a lot of outdoor festival shows with stages that didn't have a lot of shade, I had a hard time seeing the screen of my old Triton Ex then my MOXF6 I then remember seeing the guy who's music I play (go figure) has had a solution since his days using his Prophet 5. They created a little shade box that fits over the keyboard's screen. here's a couple shots of it on his Triton I created something similar out of aluminum sheet, and used velcro to attach it to my Triton Ex. For insects, a couple citronella candles on the ground around your rig would work. At least it does for me out here in Tejas David Gig Rig:Roland Fantom-08| Yamaha MODX+ 6 | MacBook Pro 14" M1| Mainstage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JazzPiano88 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Also , on a recent gig, my keyboard became an attraction for flying ants, or termites or whatever they were. I would not use an insecticide, but something to dissuade them from crawling all over the keyboard! Keyboards are definitely susceptible to persistent and annoying termite infestations as nearly everyone can attest. They are attracted to the letters "board" in the word, "keyboard" The North American termites have mutated to ignore the letters "key" in "keyboard" and are especially voracious. Roliand has a joint research venture with Monsanto to eradicate these pests, but it probably won't be licensed to Yamoha for many years to come. In the mean time probably best to find an old source for DDT but be careful!

J. Dan Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I created something similar out of aluminum sheet, and used velcro to attach it to my Triton Ex. I never did make anything permanent, but a couple times in a pinch, I put something together out of cardboard and gaff tape that looked almost just like that.

Nice idea, but I don't know where you would typically be able to clamp it on a keyboard. Maybe if you had a mic/music stand behind? All my keyboards are on stands... What stand do you have where this works? You'd need it to have a cross bar, and it would have to be pretty high (i.e. close to the keyboard), and also not overly obstructed in access by the keyboard... I can think of a whole lot of stands it would not work on (spider type, x-stands, z-stands, invisibles, standtastics, K&M 18880), I'm not sure of any it would work on, unless I'm visualizing this all wrong.

lightbg Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I've been dealing with this problem when doing some AP. Here's my solution ( I believe this is the smallest hood they make ) : Hood I use one with my iPad Mini4 and it has a clamp system that holds it securely to the case, but that can be modified. They're made quite well, fold flat, and the bottom ( or lower ) panel has an elastic slit to enable screen access without reaching in from the top. Also, the picture shows the extender attached; I haven't needed that part. It's probably way more than you might need, but it does very well as a sunshade.

J. Dan Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Once we launch our Nuclear Weapons to black out the sky in order to block out our solar powered AI machine overlords (i.e. The Matrix) you won't have to worry about it anymore. Of course gigs will be limited to Zion, located in the depths of the earth and accessible only by sewer pipes. That said, the socket in the back of your neck may have a slick MIDI/Audio interface available. Plus you could jack in some training programs like the meaning of BEEP in the context of a Blues chart. http://cdn.gospelherald.com/data/images/full/16392/the-matrix-wake-up-call.jpg Dan Acoustic/Electric stringed instruments ranging from 4 to 230 strings, hammered, picked, fingered, slapped, and plucked.
