I have a couple of versions of a custom stand where I am using multi-pin snakes to keep everything neat and clean. I run one snake from keyboard to a box on the base of the stand and then a second snake goes from that box to my offstage rack.

A more recent one has a custom welded Z-shaped aluminum stand. All of these stands roll and tilt, a stage act I've been doing for close to 30 years.

I use velcro to keep the snakes nice and tidy.

Here's one where you can see one of the first prototypes of the stand from the early '90s. It has evolved nicely over the years.

When I use a normal keyboard stand, I velcro all cables to the legs as others have suggested here.

For a clean look at church, I built a B3 inspired case that bolts onto a 4 leg stand. All wiring is inside with power, lighting, mixer, and small speakers. Everything is held down with high quality velcro type fastening. There is a an umbilical going to pedal board underneath . Out of the pedal board comes a power cable for the power bar and 2 XLR outputs. The wood is pine so weight is quite manageable at about 40 pounds with legs and pedalboard attached. These pics show with a VR-09 inside but the width is 48" so it's suitable for different models inside or on top, including my NE6HP.
