I've been working a tilt machanism for a friend that has an S900, and with luck I'll have it dont by the end of this week, or early next week. Essentially, it is constructed from aluminium channel and fits directly on the arms of an X-stand. It has a rubber strip to protect the bottom of the keyboard and also prevent side slippage, and at the front end of each is a stop that prevents the keyboard from sliding off the stand from the player side.

If everything works out, I'll post photos sometime next week and also the design specs. It will sure make life a lot easier for keyboard players that sit while performing. I do not stand while performing, and most of the performers I know now opt to sit as well.

One of the problems with ALL keyboad displays is the manufacturers are still living in the dark ages (no pun intended). The marine industry solved this problem more than two decades ago by utilizing super-twist technology, and they frequently use march larger LCD displays than any keyboard display I've ever seen. The other problem is the stupid-ass that decided to use LED indicators for the active buttons. Even in a brightly lit room they are difficult to see. If you're performing outdoors, even in the shade, they're invisible. What supreme, overpaid idiot came up with this one?

Oh well, back to the drawing board,

Gary
