Table/Stand/Desk/Ironing Board for "Musicboxes"?

psicolor · 2014-10-22T06:47:08.000Z

I have a supertiny setup for private events containing of OT, A4 and DarkEnergy (the latter is a replacement for the A4 oscillators for bass sounds). Amplification is done by a pair of Roland CM30. The only thing that is missing, is some kind of stand or foldable desk.

Traditional X-keyboard stands lack an even surface, so i always have to carry an additional wooden board. But i don’t feel very comfortable having 2,5k euro equipment on such a wobbly thing.

In general I like the idea of using an ironing board for my adult toy boxes. But these ironing boards are very heavy, which doesn’t fit to the rest of my setup.

Any ideas on a lightweight, foldable table/desk that holds two elektron boxes and a small desktop synth?

Ah, i forgot to say that i’m playing while standing (not sitting).

maybe a plexiglas stand for 2 units with your custom logo in laser engraving?

Either you are veeery small, or i misexplained what i need:

I want something that stands on the floor (not on a desk!) and offers an even surface for my toy boxes at a height of approximately 1,30 meters.

I am about 1.80 meters high and when i stand, i can work comfortably with things that are about half of a meter below my eyes.

BTW: I like the way you internationalized your nickname

dear psicolor,

i’m also standing upright while performing and found a drum pad stand with a custom wooden board (not unlike a music stand) on top to be the most stable, lightweight and portable solution.
It holds an OT and an OP-1.
In addition to that i use a quite stable music stand to hold a MPD32 midi controller, but i’d say it is not as trustworthy as the drum pad stand by a long shot.

maybe you take a look at this one:

Roland

Roland - Global

The Global website of Roland Corporation, a leading manufacturer and distributor of electronic musical instruments, including keyboards and synthesizers, guitar products, electronic percussion, digital recording equipment, amplifiers, audio...

hmm…i just measured the height of the drum pad stand to be sure and i have to add that the best height for me is around 110cm since i’m about 160cm in height. sooo…maybe a drum pad stand might be to small for you.

good luck,

I just tell the event organizer to have a decent table ready for me or I am NOT going to play

I’m doing non-commercial (with this i mean “not commercially usable”) stuff most of the time. So I find myself often in a situation where the event organizer tells me to do this or that for him, because otherwise he will not allow me to play

what I’ve done is a two birds / one stone approach. I have a thin case to carry everything (like a pedalboard case i think?), and then I put this on top of the keyboard stand, and the stuff on top of it.
