Hi - I know this may be costly, but I’d recommend forming a half circle around you with your controllers using these: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Autolocator?adpos=1o3&creative=55674776881&device=c&matchtype=&network=g&product_id=Autolocator&gclid=Cj0KEQiA-f3CBRCbluKf4vu008kBEiQAl-iGqzKm29cwRXQ3AQhXrdTQtPkSAqYObDrejXrKIRWT0MQaAmjV8P8HAQ.

I swear by them. They are sturdy and you can always reconfigure.

Spent too much time looking at various folding tables and stands the last few days. I currently thinking of going with this:

A little pricey, but seems very stable, sets up easily, no loose parts, and transportable.

Sorry to be off topic, but what’s the unit leftmost on the picture? Can’t seem to load highres enough to read its name or maker (“enhance” doesn’t seem to do it)

FaderFox UC44 - expensive, but really well made and very nice feature set.

If this sort of thing floats your boat… a) I have python scripts for configuring it easily, b) I’m about to release an Ableton Remote script that improves the experience (and not just FaderFox specific, should work for mostly midi-box-o-slider-knobs-and-buttons)

Thanks for the info! Would definitely be keen on an ableton remote script if it works with other controllers as well!

Only bump is what to do with the audio interface (there in the back on the left). If the computer tray were wider it could live there… may have to swap out that stand for something with a wider tray.

Wow that’s pretty amazing folded!

#24

How about some velcro to attach it out of the way on the bottom?

that is very, very satisfying.

do you ever need to get at the audio interface mid performance, or could it be under something? eg, a sloping stand to put the 44 on?

#26

Well - ideally, yes - both the master volume and headphone volume are on the interface - and while I can get at volume control for those via Live via my controllers - nothing quite beats having a knob at the last gain stage.

Hi! Sorry my title is a bit butchered, not really sure how to describe this better without some extra text.

I’m in the process of building a little live set up consisting of:
Eurorack (7u 84hp Intellijel)
0-Coast
Grid 128
OP-1
Macbook + UA Apollo Twin (Until I have the funds for norns)
Mini 3ch Mixer
My Drum Set

I’m curious if anyone has done something similar and has found a good table solution to throw next to a drumset. So far I have the Eurorack Case covered. I bought an Onstage Stands RS7000 (tiltback amp stand) for the case, which is perfect. I was looking for something that would set up at a comfortable height next to me while I’m sitting at the kit.

The problem I’m having now is finding some sort of table that is portable (foldable preferably) and sits low enough that I can use it comfortably while sitting on my drum throne. I’ve looked into those adjustable lifetime folding tables, but I don’t think they go low enough and may be a little too big.

Has anyone found a cool solution or maybe has an idea that they could share?

Thanks! :slight_smile:

These are amazing for all kinds of cases and tabletop synths. I have 3 of them.

This is pretty cool! Thanks for sharing.

In my searching, I also found this as a possible solution. Anyone have experience with this? Looks pretty sturdy.

Hey! @madeofoak Just saw this picture of your rig. Are you using the pedalboard case to travel with your gear inside as well? This looks like a great solution to my post above. Is it something you got custom made, or is it just a generic case?

#31

at that point (2016) yes, all my gear travelled inside the case. it’s a nice all in one solution though a bit messy with TSA.

if you’re sitting down you could probably use the case as designed and mount all your gear with velcro (or whatever) to the interior pedalboard and just pop the top off and plug in. and the case wasn’t custom, it was from road cases usa. still kicking after all these years though very very beat up.

Awesome! Yeah I can imagine flying with that could have been a hassle at some points.

And yup, the velcro inside was my exact thought after seeing your picture. Not a bad idea at all. This could work really well. Looks like that company also has a super nifty pop-up version of the case where the “pedal” section pops out at an angle. Sick!

Thanks!

Learned about these from @marcus_fischer. Looks like they’re currently sold out:

Bringing this thread to the top. I’ve been battling some back issues this past week and I need to address hunching over my synths as much as I do. I’m hoping to find some sort of two tier stand that can have adjustable angles that sets on a desk. I’ve been staring at ‘DJ stands’ ‘laptop stands’ and even amp and acoustic guitar stands (not two tier obviously), and can’t seem to find much that suits my needs. Ideally this would also be the kind of thing easily packable for live shows.



These two options seem to be the best, but reviews suggest they’re wobbly or hard to put together for regular live show use. They also don’t look like they have an adjustable angle.

My plan is to put a small 6U50hp (roughly 11"x11") case on one level and an Octatrack on the other. Any tips?

That’s great, thanks. I bought a Roland laptop stand and it’s fine but it’s not quite wide enough for a laptop and launchpad mini once I start trying to make room for USB plugs and power supply connectors. The Gator stand looks like it would give a little more room to spread out.
