Yeah! Works perfect when you dj aswell, one on each deck (espc. when you have them on mic stands):D I had my AirFX on one deck and a kaoss pad 3 on the other last time I was on stage, a really nice experience..

I wish more gear had mic stand attachments on them.

I have a Kaoss Pad 1. I sometimes velcro both the AirFX & KP1 onto a stand on either side of my laptop, & velcro a MIDI controller in front of the lappie. Nice rig.

I am going to get a KP2 at some point. How do you like your KP3? Ever use a KP1 or 2?

I belongs to a friend but i managed to borrow it for almost 6 months, I really liked the functionality but still don't know if it's the tool for me. The samplingfunction seems nice but never got a real grip of it. I want to pick up a monome maybe, or if I can afford it - lemur jazzmutant. How's the KP1 & KP2?

Yep, found a guide here on the forum: http://www.ableton.com/forum/viewtopic. ... highlight= easy to do, maybe I'll repaint it again in a different color:D

Well, I have a few stands so I can set up a variety of rigs. I use an older version of this Quiklok stand:

I just wiggle things around like a transformer to get the necessary configuration, which changes depending on the gear, & add velcro where necessary.

And/or a couple of these Ultimate Apex stands:

I found both the mic stand attachment, & a nice black shelf + shelf support clamp that Ultimate Stands made in limited quantities for these Apex stands. It's a perfect size, & the shelf clamp keeps the shelf in place. Really worth hunting down on ebay if you have an Apex stand.

Both stands are good, & I recommend them. Both can be set up high enough to get you past that hunched over a utility table look (not a super look IMO). They both fold up fairly easily for transportation & both set up quickly as well.

All in all, the Apex stand is more slick looking, & since it is based on a single column, it actually makes less of a wall between you & the audience.

I wish I had cool vintage gear, but I'm pretty much all "new school" equipment wise. My music has been a total loner hobby so I guess I really don't know what I'm missing anyways when it comes to cool analog gear....but I suppose ignorance is bliss anyways.

My favorite pieces of gear are my seventies era NAD receiver and MB Quart monitors, I know this sounds total fanboy but my favorite and most useful musical toy really is Live....it just makes arranging ideas so much easier than anything else I've tried.

Yeah, I loved the days of collection boxsets....I'm just a collection junkee....have thousands and thousands of sports cards from when I was a kid. Lately I try to keep my collection habit to music toys and books, too many old things collecting dust!

The 959 model is favorite thing to look at from where I sit doing music. Instant music mojo by just looking at it, that car reeks of sexy.

Dude..
If you have never experienced an ass camera then i can assure you that no you do not want one.. Unless of course you are strange that way, in which case knock your self out,, and why stop with cameras

Wouldn't this be a question or request better directed to your proctologist?

I wonder if those guys are gear whores in their profession?

I have a KP1. It's great! But I think the advancements (like tap tempo) made in the KP2 would be nice. I have not played with a KP2 or 3 yet. The KP3 seems to have some drawbacks, so maybe the KP2 is the sweet spot -for me at least.

I was recently advised to check out the Korg Entrancer -it's a Kaoss pad for both audio & video. But my VJ friend (who is quite an authority by now), says that is has poor video quality. So I'll probably get a KP2 at some point.

The battery powered one looks cool too for playing on the run!
