Tablet holders
There are interesting solutions for having a tablet attached to a Nord. Just stumbled over a new one mentioned by superbender.
An adapter for a short mic beam replaces one of the two music rest supports and can be combined with some 3rd party tablet holders that fit on a mic beam: https://www.w3brr.nl/de/shop/nord-mic-s ... et-holder/. This should work for most Nords with music rest supports (Electro, Piano, Grand, Stage) - preferably if they are sitting even (not 2nd/3rd tier). Can be e.g. combined with different K&M tablet holders. Or of course other gear. There have been mentioned other solutions before:
- different tablet arms
- a sliding frame: the K-Frame
- I remember having seen another sliding frame on the forum, but couldn't find it any more.
So there are solutions for both attaching the tablet to the instrument itself or to a keyboard stand.
As I need to use glasses, I like solutions with adaptable eye distance. But of course, there are other relevant aspects as well: Amount of wabbling when hitting the instrument, overall stability, cool look, different use of the tablet and the control knobs on the instrument etc.

Re: Tablet holders
It is a bit curious that there has not been a simple design/connector for a tablet that slots directly into the stand holder, instead of having to remove and replace the original plastic with that other adaptor.

Re: Tablet holders
I thought the same thing. Maybe the 'inventor' meant it to be more robust. At least it should work with the music rest supports if you use both.
On the other side: I'm very comfortable with my K&M universal holder for the keyboard stand - it's just not as easy to set up as it could be, and it doesn't look as clean as it could.
And of course, everybody could just cut away the sides from the (wooden) Nord Music Rest and use it for a tablet. Cheapest solution

Re: Tablet holders
That's amazing, but does not looks compatible with the Compact version (no partitions holder)?FZiegler wrote:There are interesting solutions for having a tablet attached to a Nord. Just stumbled over a new one mentioned by superbender.

Re: Tablet holders
NS3 Compact Rev2 has the musict rest supports, Rev1 and older NS/NS2 didn't (you may drill the missing holes though, but... )neomad wrote:That's amazing, but does not looks compatible with the Compact version (no partitions holder)?FZiegler wrote:There are interesting solutions for having a tablet attached to a Nord.
