I find that I’m most productive when I’m sitting down on the floor with an Elektron box or two. I just find it so much more creative than sitting at a desk.
Problem is, my place has carpeted floors.
Can static from a carpet and/or wood floor damage Elektron/other music gear? Would small wooden panels or trays be enough to protect things?
Weird question, I know, but the last thing I wanna do is fry my gear.
A lot of people have been putting Elektron machines into a bag and dragging them around the world for well over a decade now. I think you’ll be ok on the bedroom floor, just watch your step.
Maybe use some kind of raised platform, cardboard box, wood plank or something like that?
I use a TV box, so I essentially have a desk-like surface, raised off the ground about 6 inches. I put some hard Styrofoam at various spots inside of it so it would be sturdy and not cave in. Also I put something under my Digitakt so it’s tilted forward a bit.
This wouldn’t really work as well if I wanted stuff “around” me in like a half-circle or arc of some kind, but for my very minimal setup at the moment (Digitakt, synth, laptop) it works
EDIT Also on the “music on the floor” topic, I wonder if it’s more fun for some people (me included) because it feels more like being a kid, playing with toys on the ground?
