I like the looks of the apex. But is it sturdy enough? Is is suitable for use on a podium with uneven elements of sloppy ones? I am considering buying ons.
The Apex is built like a tank, so yeah it's sturdy. Since it's a tripod, it will be stable in any condition, and you can even adjust the angle of the support at the back to accommodate for slightly sloped floors.

Thanx for you reaction. I will try one out.

Which is the pedal board thing you got there? Not the Korg ones.

I'm sure he'll answer on his own... but to me they look like Roland pedals with that extended rubber part in front.

No sir, i wasn't asking about those. In the second pic, the one with 8 buttons, looks like some sort of effect processor/looper? Sorry I do not know about that one, hence the curiosity.

Regards.

Those are 8 outlets. Not switches....

Oh! Thank you! For a minute I thought it was some kind of looper/processor, looked more serious than what my mentor used to use, hence asked.

Is the laptop computer you have in the setup on a floor stand?

The final piece to the puzzle arrived today. My custom made Midi Bass pedals.

Starting to program them tonight. Anyone who's interested in having some made can check out this site: http://basspedals.netai.net/flash.html

Got to find a way to tame the spaghetti!

I tied everything together with (removable) cable ties and works (and looks) good.

Advantages:
- looks good (also on stage)
- Reasonably cheap
- I never forget a cable because I literally tied every cable together (with splits here and there)
- I can very quickly connect and/or disconnect the cables for a rehearsal/gig

Disadvantage:
- You have to mark the cables, becuase you cannot see anymore which goes where (but to colormark it also has benefits)
- When you have to replace a cable it costs time (but the chance of breaking is less since the big bundle of cables is less bendable).

I'll try to make a picture soon (the 'bundle' is mostly in the rehearsal room). At home I have a few loose cables (looking like the spaghetti cable pic above).

phattbuzz.. How do you like the the Casio Privia as a controller for the Kronos (if that's what your're using it for)?

I think the action is great for both acoustic and electric piano. It can be had at a pretty cheap price compared to some other 88 key controllers and it doesn't weigh all that much. It's piano sounds aren't bad either, but not quite up to the caliber of the Kronos.

The Korg TR61, Casio Privia and now the midi bass pedals are all controllers for the Kronos. I love it.

I was thinking of the Casio as an alternative to my Korg Sg-Pro X.
I love the action on it but the older i get the heavier IT gets
Does the Casio have any sliders for sending out volume cc?

This one does not. The pitchbend wheel works well. Other than that, there are no midi sliders.
