Keyboard Rig Pics

You know, I have not the slightest desire to change my Windows Notebook and Windows Tablet until the end of my life. I also have no even the slightest desire to update Windows. To say more - I like Windows 10 V.1809, where I deleted everything related to Defender, and I do not use any antivirus software. I think this is a big deception - the use of any antivirus software. And V.1809 gives me the opportunity to install drivers for my old devices. And it works very stable - that is the main thing for me!
Hi! We are living nearly in 2025! Do you remember the strength of computers 30 years ago? The Yamaha DX-7 was fantastic synth!! And now - the full Yamaha DX-7 emulator from Arturia is only 150MB! And absolutely software copy of Yamaha Montage M-88 is 7 Gb!! As you can understand it is not a problem for computers in 2025! Software synths have the great possibility! They can make sounds not worse than the real synths and sometimes - better. From the Auto-arranger software (I like GigLad - https://deltarray.com/) to the great Samplers (now the Nexus 5 is not only the Rompler, but also the Sampler!!) - I can have any synth at my home and more - easy take them with me using Windows Tablet. I also have the small music devices I mentioned to have fun in the garden and to press buttons, but not touch-screen
By the way! I also use several VST audio-tools. Mainly from the iZotope (I like them). I can also recommend the nice plugin for vocal - Manipulator

You can use MIDI keyboard and have nice back-vocal with one voice or chords. By fact you can sing the whole song on one note and play the melody on keyboard. Rather interesting vocoder!
The Very Happy New 2025 for everybody!!! Kind Regards!

Unless the most critical thing you do with your computer is minesweeper, ignoring updates is the quickest way to get hacked.

I don't know about you but I use my computer for a dozen other things besides netradio and I stay on top of updates and security to the best of my ability.

Yahoo! I know who is under the hypnosis of MS! During about 15 last years I didn't have any virus attack or hacking! To say more - nobody had any interest to my private information from my comp. The passwords? My bank will send me to mobile-phone the message to confirm any operation. And not only my bank! By the way - can you imagine that all hackers attacks can be done ONLY because computers has a big opened doors in update system and so-called defender! All complaints about non-stable Windows system is the results of updates. The updating Windows is look like one cartridge in cylinder of revolver at the temple.

Hi! What we are talking about! Here is the forum for keyboard players. No matter - for players synths or MIDI keyboards.
The question about computer protection is up to FBI Let them worry about all updates.
You are happy with your updates? OK! Be happy! I'm happy without any updates because I want to install only what I really want to install on my comp. I can not allow MS to decide what I really need and what I don't need! It's my choice! And I am also happy! We both are happy! What to wish more? To stay happy in coming new 2025!! I wish you so!!
p.s. I prefer to play RTS - StarCraft 2 for example.

I got hacked into the stone age 3 years ago. Lost my phone, my router and my network and email for months.

Had to freeze my accounts as well.

I hope you enjoy when it happens to you.

Thank you, sir.

I've wanted to add a small synth to the top of my Hammond SK Pro's B3-like case, but I don't like "mini keys"...

The Korg Multi Poly is brand new to me, but I'm really looking forward to not only going through all the presets (and taking them apart to see what makes them tick), but then using all the capabilities to relearn the basic synth skills I'd had back in the early 80's (on a Mini Moog) and getting even deeper into the waveforms and effects this board offers. It will be a journey for sure!

...but I might have to position it in the center to enable right-hand soloing and left-hand bass.

I don't know if a thread like this already exists but i think it would be cool to start a thread with pictures of cook keyboard rigs.

I cant seem to find a picture of my current rig but to get something started ill post a picture of my rig from a few years back actually this is just a picture before an outreach event at baldwin wallace college.

This sunday ill get a picture of my striped down rig but hopefully in the next few weeks ill get a full rig pic up!

Here' a pic of the rig I use for my band. Great idea you have for the pictures of the keyboard rigs

I was at a Squeeze concert a few weeks ago, and had the VIP access. The keyboard tech was cool enough to let me step behind Mr. Stephen Large's keyboards and get pics. Hope you like them!

My setup last night. The DI's send XLR stereo to the house, and summed mono to my Laney AH-150 monitor.

Nice! One day i'm going to have to play a Nord. I"ve been a Korg guy for so long, I'm nervous to try to learn a whole new architecture.

I know what you mean. I've been a Roland guy for many years. The Nord is very different. I struggled to get it gig ready out of the box. All good now though. It plays live really nice. Makes soloing on They call me the breeze (for example) really easy cuz it sounds so good and I can play it like a real piano. None of my Roland's come close. The Nord organs sound faithful but it doesn't play like a Hammond. Nobody notices but me though. It's still adequate. The Nord always comes out in the mix - sounds really professional out the house. I was still gigging with a Roland VR-09, but about a month ago decided to go Nord every weekend because it sounds so much better. Also, my bandmates said the Nord sounds way better. So, ya...

On the left, my most recent purchase (practically a gift) the Korg TR-88 and the stand that got me interested enough to buy it. Above it, my long-suffering Zoom R16 recording deck, as I'm preparing to put down some simple bass and piano parts on a song.

On the right, my Yamaha MX61. Above it, the Casio CT-X700 that got me started with keyboards. I used to put painter's tape on the keys to help me find the right notes, but now that my skill level has risen to 1 (of 10) I look down on that sort of thing.
