Are you able to share a photo of this to demonstrate what you mean?

Thanks

Thanks for posting these shots. How is the stability of the Kronos on the bottom tier of the Spider? I'm currently trying to decide between a the Spider Pro and an Ultimate Support AX90 to use with my preordered K73 on the bottom tier and current Roland Fantom X7 on the upper tier.

Funny you brought that up. I was wondering that too. I will be using them during transport.

Not even the slightest wobble. Rock solid. Previously I had my Korg M3-73 on the bottom tier. Honestly, the Kronos sits better. The M3's have strange undercarriages due to their modular design. The tier arms extend on the Spider Pros. I have it out 3 clicks to fit the Kronos. 2 clicks out for the Virus on top.
With the spacing I have setup, I can completely see the screen on the Kronos. I initially feared that I wouldn't. The M3's screen is positioned further towards the back of the keyboard and it wasn't visible under my top tier. Kronos & Spider Pro: match made in heaven. LOL

Thanks! That's swaying me towards the Spider Pro in that case... especially regarding line-of-sight to the Kronos screen. I'm currently using an M3-88 on the bottom tier of my rig (QuickLok M-92) so I know what you mean about the strange undercarriage!

I used to use the old Apex AX48 and so like the brand, but I'm a little concerned that I won't be able to arrange two sustain pedals underneath the AX90 comfortably... the Spider looks like it will accomodate them much better.

Thanks :)

Quick iPhone photo...The grey card is one of three little cardboard inserts that came spaced between the metal edge and the front edge of the keybed. The packaging instructs that you keep these and reuse them for future transportation of the board. I assume they are to keep the metal edge from being banged into the keys themselves.

Just for information, I used to use a Spider Pro with an Open Labs Neko on the lower tier and a PC3 on the top. Very stable, space for pedals underneath (which is a pain with the Ultimate Support stands) and always got attention when you were setting up and breaking down! I would not hesitate to recommend them.

I just bought a Jasper 2 tier stand, eventually for a Kronos to be placed on. I bought it because I use a Behringer and it doesn't fit under most stands (also not a spider pro which I like very much).

I will try to post a picture (altough it will not have a Kronos on it yet).
It's very stable, very flexible in position possibilities, first time hard to setup (when you change something, you have to adjust other bars too but that 's only the first time). It's quite big and haven't tried to put it in my car. When I bend the two parts together it does not fit just on the back seat but it maybe can go in diagonally; otherwise I have to unscrew 6 (easy) knobs so I have 5 separate bars.

If it's one of their tubular aluminium type stands, then take my advice and get your self some spare "hex bolts", hand-wheel bolts and matching nuts for the ABS plastic T-joint pieces as the threads tend to wear out over time with the repeated tightening and untighteneing you experience when setiing up and breaking down gigging regularly.

Thanks for the advice, tough I would not expect such necessity for a stand ... never had any problems with earlier stands, but there are not many stands that have enough space for a Behringer beneath.

I speak from the experince of using a few different brands of aluminium tube A-frame keyboards stands and electronic drum kit racks made with the same kind of T-joints over the past couple of decades... best to keep a few spare with you at all times as when they strip there threads, it tends to be when you are just setting up for a gig! Simply replacing a stripped bolt completely cures it though.

I don't know how to get them off an ipod, but when you have the jpg you can put it on something like picpaste and reference to it.

If you have an Windows PC, plug in your iPad/iPod/iPhone and and it should show up in My Computer as a camera, browse and drag and drop them onto your desktop.

If you have a Mac, plug device in, start image capture

Hope this helps.
