Keyboard Rig Pics

[jmemcse]

My summer 24 tour rig. A Nord S4C, a Roland VR-09, and a pair of Laney AH-300 amps.

Does it get confusing for the tracking system of the left hand (lol) playing both boards when the top board starts with a C key and the bottom board starts with an E key?

 

[jmemcse]

I line up middle C. It feels natural; I've been playing like that for years. I usually just solo on the top board - ie. Flute on top and strings on the bottom for Knights in White Satin.

This is my keyboard wall in my little basement studio. My Moog Grandmother on top, my old broken Korg Polysix, and my first synth, my MiniKorg. The second stack starts on top with my Kork Wavestation EX, then my KingKorg and on the bottom my Korg Kronos 73 1st generation. I've yet to find anything that interests me and can fit my budget although i'm sure there are a ton of great synths out there. I'm just not really interested in getting anything else but I do want to get my Polysix up and running.

I had G.A.S. but I bought something for it.
Sadly though, the cure didn't last.
And it only gets worse!
There are actually 13 guitars and one bass in this picture, it's the opposite wall from my keyboard wall.

Just using one keyboard currently. Gonna use the VR-09 tonight, next week's gig I'm going to sit down and play the Nord.

Here's the studio I've been running for the last year and a half.

For once I'm totally happy with my current rig.

How are you managing the cable snarl these days?

Corrected and updated...

Looks great Gary!

Maybe just a few more pedals needed?

What I need to do is label the bloody things. Depending which keyboard I'm accessing I get confused .

Here's the whole setup in a nutshell

I keep getting requests on which gear creates what song so this time I got creative.

 

[happyrat1]

New piece of gear added to the studio this xmas.

Santa was good this year.

 

[mjmmlm]

Yes, that is a nice ukulele!
Seriously though, nice banjo.

Nice! Congrats!

 

[Old No7]

Gee, I dunno... Does "being good" and a "getting a banjo" really go together? Or, was Gary very, very naughty -- but still got something nice?!

Seriously -- have fun with it, will be waiting to hear it in some of your mixes.

I'm working on an add-on (secures with 1/4"x20 screw-in knobs) keyboard rack to the top of my "B3 like" Hammond case, so I can use my MODX along with my SK Pro and the lower manual.

Hmmm... Music is my hobby, so I don't have a lot of synths. Only several midi keyboards for general purpose..
But I like to play different VST synths
Here they are (the screenshot of some of them and installed list of them in Cantabile).
Really I never though about buying of real synths because... hmmm... I don't have the basement studio...
And I also like my small music-devices to play in train or in garden...
I like to sit by my Windows tablet and to play something from my head Something like that https://disk.yandex.ru/d/XsxOyGfJDboyvQ

Music is also my hobby, but over 3 decades you find a way to build up a collection of synths and mould your own life to fit the tune.

My main problem is that software synths do not age well nor do they have any resale value. Either M$ releases an update that trashes your expensive DRM software in 3 to 5 years or nobody's going to give you a trade-in on any software but their own.

Part of the. fun in collecting synths and building your own dream studio from scratch is all the horse trading that went on in between.
