Lead Rack Placement for Live Shows

Post by ericL »

I'm finally integrating my NL2XR into my live rig. I have an option to put it into a 4-space rack that would be a second rack for me. It feels like a bit of a waste to tuck all those knobs out of reach and I was thinking about either an angled case or setting up the Lead Rack on a stand to be able to get to the controls in real time.

I was wondering if anyone uses their Leads outside of a rack and if so, how are you setting it up around other gear and also transporting it?

Thanks!

Hello,

I just bought a Nord Rack 2x as well. I’m not planning on using it live but picked up a Moog multi-purpose gig bag that fits well for transporting (also can fit the Arturia KeyStep inside too).

Good luck!
