Ideas on how to get APC above keyboard

Post by djadonis206 » Sun Aug 19, 2012 3:01 pm

Is there a keyboard stand or some kind that would enable me to put my APC40 directly above my keyboard? The keyboard sits on a keyboard stand. I'm trying to get my APC off my desk

Thanks for the reply. My only concern with that stand is my keyboard is considerably wider than my APC. The stand you posted doesn't look like its adjustable on the top level so I can setup the APC on top

I'm browsing the other stand though

I have two of these in my studio. I put the keys on top of my BCR on one, and machinedrum on top of my launchpad on the other. Works like a charm and it's super cheap.

Very adjustable, I have it and sometimes put my laptop or my Maschine controller up there depending on what I'm working on. The width and the amount of forward tilt are adjustable.

Oh, I see. The upper stand bends inwards. Ah HA! Very nice.

I'm trying to make room for a MD

here's the setup with two of those stands I linked previously..

edit: I should note that there's a little elevation on the feet (ie. the feet aren't flat to the bottom)
