Nord Stage 88 EX
Ultimate V Stand
2x Yamaha FC7 Pedals
1x Nord Sustain Pedal

Rack with:

MOTU 828 mk2
Emagic Unitor 8 USB
Korg Triton Rack
Emo Power distro
Big XLR/Powercon/Midi/NeutrikUSB/NeutrikFW400 Patch Panel.

1 big custom built loom with Audio, Midi, USB, Power - from keyboard to rack

Macbook Pro with Mainstage, Omnisphere, Alicias Keys, Galaxy 2 Pianos, Scarbee Rhodes, and others.

my monitor mix comes in on 2 xlrs on the patch, and mixes with a seperate keyboard bus so i can control my own ear mix. patch has 8 xlr outputs for running clicks, tracks etc and seperating keys outputs. one power lead into the rack distro, one big loom to the keybaords, I am up and running in 2 minutes - so much better than building a studio on stage like i used to do!

Hello Ed,
Welcome to the forum!
Congrats on such an amazingly clean, simple, but powerful setup.
What type of monitoring do you use?
What type of music do you perform?
Cheers, Hanon

Hi Ed,
excellent choice on using the UE 7PRO, I'm sure your soundman/ audio engineer(s) love you for it. I'm an IEM fan as well.
I'm sure the forum will benefit greatly from your talent and experience.
Cheers, Hanon

This is exactly with what I have in mind for my future gear. I want to make the move from physical heavy weight synths and stage piano's to a more lightwight stagepiano and a Macbook . So one NS2 for me and a good (the best) midi controller keyboard on top (don't know what brand or whatsoever). You understand I've spread these investments over a few months..... 16 or so ;-)

Is it possible to make a close up picture of your patchpanel with all the customs ports you've made on it???
And where do you use the Emagic Unitor 8 USB for??

PS
I use UE 18 Pro http://ultimateears.com/en-us/products/18-pro. One of the best investments I've made and I recommend it to everybody.
