Took 3 hours to line it all up when it arrived yesterday. I haven't broken it down yet - I'm mainly at a resident gig but Thursday evening I may take it apart for the first time for two different venues on Friday - or I may play safe and use my Spider...

Thing is, I didn't order enough memory locks - but once I get them, I reckon around ten mins to setup. Those curved bars were a pig to get straight!
Yea - for that, I think I'd rather just stick to my old reliable Ultimate Apex at this point. All though the Spider Pro does seem kinda neat.

Very nice studio, I would love to see the Nano Pad 2 placement. The PC with GTX card and powerful cooling system looks like a powerful gaming machine as well.

In our country, There are many furniture makers who can make customized-desks.
I ordered them which I want, of course satisfied.

I read many messages you wrote :) many useful things I got.
I know A guy who is expert for acryl work, he made it for me.

to Crystalmsc,
You have sharp eyes!
Right. I built my PC for hi performance gaming first,,
But unfortunately, I'm playing with my Kronos much more..^^
Nanopad.. I rarely use it. therefore I don't care much its location.
Just put it on the right-top side of Kronos.

Still use my XP30 - great piece of kit.

And bizarrely, holding good money on eBay :)

I was surprised too at the EBay prices but actually the XP30 has been the bedrock of my rig - everything else has changed!

It is compact, great to play, is versatile as a controller and has some great sounds available - not many synths you can say that about methinks
