How do you have your rig set up?

Post by Rosen Sound »

This is if you DON'T have the dedicated Radias Keyboard :)
if you have the R3 show where you put it also put a brief description of your connections (midi etc)

My radias and karma :D (live i will have my karma tilted and have my radias like that on another stand rather then rack mounted, i get it that low by rigging a tripple tier stand)

Karma and radias using all mains/individual outs from a snake, midi karma out Ch1>Radias IN Ch6>Kurzweil Micropiano (oh yeah!!!) THRU ch5
radias individuals and kurzweil bussed into my KORG DRV 2000 reverb
all sounded from a TASCAM MM1 mixer on a nice rack slider :)

Pictures encouraged!

my setup looks exactly like yours :wink:

I haven't been out live in a while but I think we'd just be taking the KARMA, Radias, ES1, a submixer (probably the behringer on the left), and the controller keyboard. and of course the MIDI patchbay.... :roll:
Yeah I need to figure out how to set all that up quickly! custom flight case maybe...

I wish I could get my radias that close to the back of my KARMA though! how do you do it?

I have a tripple tier stand and under the karma it looks like this

<a href="http://s26.photobucket.com/albums/c138/ ... 101501.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c138/ ... 101501.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

so basically as you can see the middle tier is actually UNDER the bottom tier and the top tier is just EVER SO SLIGHTLY over the karma, my karma can't actually fit under it, but thats because i actually took an inch off the stands and re welded them, but im sure if you did it your karma could fit under it and half half an inch of slack.

Im so glad this forum exist with actual people, i was on keyboardfrums.com alot, took months to get replys, and i always tried helping people.. but noone ever even came back to check hahaha

That would be my university Final Year Project, gathering dust.

A full on PC in a box really, but with its own dedicated software. Entirely of my own design.

I do currently use it, though just with windows and a few plugins. I wasn't really happy with the software I wrote, although the concept was great - kind of a cross between a hammond organ and a wavestation.
I identified that additive and vector synthesis are very similar, and then decided why not add a sequencer to trigger the envelope of each partial (or 'component' - there are 9 of them) in a rhythm. It was mainly as a 'performance' synth with features like program variations (or 'scenes'). Supposed to be very fluid and natural to play.

There are also blue cold-cathode tubes under the keys 8)



anyway, that's offtopic.

@robinhood: I think I get it now. Your pictures aren't too good. Anyway I don't think I have space on my stand. If I bring the KARMA forwards it will fall off. So currently my RADIAS-R overhangs the KARMA and makes it difficult to see the screen. I would really like to mount it at a slight angle (like an integrated music stand) right behind the KARMA. Perhaps using freestanding rack rails actually attached to the back of the KARMA panel - again like an integrated music stand.
