Gear besides keyboards

[matje]

I wonder what hardware besides keyboards everybody uses who is on stage.

This is what I take on stage besides my keyboards and stand:

Laptop
Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 3rd gen
Behringer XENYX mixer
Midi interface
3 Yamaha FC7 pedals mounted on a pedal board
K&M laptop stand with mouse stand for Behringer and Ipad mount
Ipad

So I use a lot of "lose" gear. Somebody who has built this kind of stuff in a flightcase?

Less is more:

- NS4C w/NP5 as midi controller
- Spider Pro stand
- JDI stereo DI
- 2 FC7 pedals (sustain/leslie), one continuous pedal for organ swell (mounted on pedalboard)
- a nice stool and some cables

No laptop, mixer or FX as none needed. I used to carry all that crap, no longer.

Really? An FC7 for sustain?

Hardware only guy with a very simple gig setup:

• Piano 5-73 or Electro 6D 73 (swap in the Electro 7 when it arrives)
• Nord Music Rest
• K&M 18880 stand
• Electro Voice EVerse 8 speaker
• M Audio sustain pedal
• Yamaha FC7 when needed
• 2x TS cables - each channel out of the Nord into the two speaker channels
• 12" iPad Pro for music

I travel simple, light and quick. Packs up fast and can be hand carried in one haul.

The home studio is, of course, a completely different beast. Someday I'll post about it.

Sorry, typo -- it's just a normal sustain pedal

I have been doing my gigs with a single board now for 15+ years, starting with NS2 88, then a few iterations of NS2 EX 76 and NS2 EX Compact...now it is NS3 Compact. I am gradually working in a Prophet 6 for at least one of my bands, and have a Roland XV3080 rack module on tap as well. Those may become a more regular part of the rig over time.

As for the "gear besides keyboards," I have a rack that always travels with me. It sits offstage or behind me on stage and has my Shure PSM900 wireless IEM rig, my Radial KL-8 mixer, my Neo Ventilator, and my Shure P4M submixer for the IEM rig.

On my custom stand, I have two Yamaha FC7 control pedals, a Nord sustain pedal, and a custom fast/slow switch for my Ventilator.

Otherwise, I have a Rock N Roller cart on which all of the above can travel, though I might get a bigger one as things start to get a bit heavy and bulky if I am bringing a second keyboard.
