Hi there,
When having a look at some of your pictures/video, I noticed that some of you sit when they play live. Some play standing up in front of their gear.
So... Basic question:
Do you rather stand or sit down to play?
I personally stand in front of my gear. It allows me to move when the vibe gets me
When practicing my piano at home or working on some sounds/productions, I sit down off course. But live, I need to stay on my feet, even if I might cost me a bit of precision.
What about you?
Sit down or stand up?

Re: Sit down or stand up?
Depends on what the show demands. Obviously sitting down is easier on the hips, but if the show requires more infectious stage presence, then standing up is where to be.

Re: Sit down or stand up?
Always sit...The Only time I stand is when I have a crazy solo with mod wheel on the third keyboard of my rig (I have an L shape with 3 keys stacked on each one...) and then, I need to be more confortable...Otherwise, I stay sit...If I want to move the crowd, I take my Keytar in fact...
