Exactly.
Sniffing glue certainly would have cost less.

There is no parking in the red zone!

Indeed. One should never let their VU meters get into the red.

Oups. Not in the red?!?!?!

Quik Lok DJ Table and Mixer Stand Equipment (DJ233)
Sweetwater doesn't have it, Amazon and a few others do.

It's not super heavy duty but it's foldable, and it's adjustable. In that pic, you can see the Iridium mounted on VESA clamp on stand. I basically attached a piece of 5/4 lumber to one end of the table with some c-clamps, and that gave the vesa mount something to clamp to. It's a bit top heavy, but it's not getting moved or knocked into.

Wow. Dimensions are perfect!!!!

What’s with all the Amazon complaints of bent parts?

Grumpy old fart thinking out loud......

Yay or nay?

The OC-2 synths sound should disappear for a while.

I couldn't tell you the last time I heard and/or recognized it, so neigh?

Looks cool. Koala sampler is really awesome also. (Available on ios and android)
I bought it a last summer for my android phone. So I can sample anything anywhere anytime with the built in mic.

Aw man, don’t think like that.
...it could always be both.

I built my own console table setup using 1x2" lumber for framing and pegboard for a surface.

I would love to see this setup.

Seems like it bends easily ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The size is pretty ideal though and the heights are right for seated or standing playing.

You can briefly see it at 6:05 of this video, but it's in the dark. When I get a chance I'll upload a better pic if I remember. It's basically just a table with stuff tied to it. I sized it so it would fit into one of those big keyboard bags for transport, but then I added an upper deck for it which has to be detached and carried separately. The Mother 32s are on the upper deck part.

I think I got the new Erica calibrated! It seems to play in tune across octaves now.
Now to patch a thing and play a sequence. Omg there are so many variables to be mindful of.
- What’s clicking? Is that an envelope?
- Why is there no sound? Did I patch the wrong thing to a the wrong input?
- Why won’t that not stop playing? Oh, it’s not passing through a VCA with an envelope generator connected to it.

pretty sure this is where the p-bass with flats straight to the amp comes in.

Seriously. I’m just here for the neuroplasticity.

Okay, found some pics I took during the build. This was about 5 years ago. At the time I have a Microbrute and a few Volcas. Everything seemed to fit fine, but I didn't allow space for effects pedals, so those had to be elsewhere. I have a small shelf on it so I can hide cabling underneath. It's still rat's nest though. Now, of course, I have more/different synths, so this thing's not as neat and tidy as it was then, plus there is a detachable upper deck as well. The keyboard has been replaced with a more functional and compact Keystep and there is a Mackie Mix5 mixer on it now, too.
