Good Shots Scott
Yeah, I was wundrin' about the feedback from the monitor too.
No problems???
I use a single Peavey "Impulse" at keyboard level, mounted on a mic stand. It's in your face but small enough so as not to be obstructive.
Again...Good Shots.

I'm first to admit that I have no experience or background as an organ player. I'm a vocalist who plays the keyboard primarily to accompany my singing. I realize elbows positioned slightly higher than the hands is prefered, and it's more the position my keyboard is at when I'm actually 'standing' up straight! For that particular wedding gig I only had to perform a 45 minute dinner set. I used to play those long 5-6 hour per night gigs too. For them, I definitely need to be seated and positioned similar to the way you described. Also, if I was in charge of handling the music for the entire night, I would have surely supplied my own PA setup as well, and run it stereo thru my EV & Bose PA systems. I really appreciated how easy this gig was, as I only had to walk in carrying my lightweight PSR2000 in one hand, and the KB stand in the other. Life's good to me. Ok ladies & gentleman , the Scott Yee Roast is now officially over. I now wanna see gig pics from the rest of you out there. Batter up. - Scott

Here goes...I hope this works, 'cos I not exactly a computer genius.

Leon, you did it right. Good photos.
Scott, I have a new gig. A friend of mine opened a lounge in the Atrium of a large motel. We built a piano bar out of an old grand piano shell. The piano keybed, in fact all of the soundboard and strings has been removed. We sit the PSR2000 where the keys used to be.
The best part is, he also has a 2000. All I have to do is show up, sit down and start work.
I'll try to post some pictures soon.

Hi Leon: Thanks a lot for sharing your gig shots. The Korg T3 is certainly a great classic synth workstation. Knowing you're a long time contributor to the arranger forum, I was rather surprised that you still don't own an arranger type keyboard yet . . . (or do you?). Can I assume that all your backup arrangements were pre-sequenced on your Korg T3? I used to gig this way, playing a Korg 01/WFD, before going the arranger kb route. The big advantage of arranger kb playing for solo gig work is the spontaneity & flexibility it provides, such as playing an additional chorus 'on the fly' (if audience mood dictates), or playing & triggering chord substitions and/or moving into another song or groove, at will. All this gives you the freedom to deliver a more 'live' & exciting performance than 'playing-along' with pre-sequenced material, because you are in control of everything (including the backup accomp parts and where they lead to) in 'real' time . I encourage you to consider an arranger keyboard as a future keyboard performance option. What style/type of music do you perform? It would be great if you could post a sample of your music (MP3 format) on your website. Thanks. - Scott

hey Don,
Congratulations on your new upcoming gig venue. Your new venue setup is a very popular approach used by many club owners. I played a piano bar that used the exact same design configuration, except that the keyboard used was a Technics PR digital piano which included arranger functions. In fact, that was where I got my first exposure to an arranger (7 years ago). Don, look forward to seeing your gig shots. - Scott

LEON ,

Nice gig pics, and that KB brings back alot of memories of my old KORG M1 hooked to a Roland RA 90 arranger module.

Don M,

Way to go, congrats on your new gig. Sounds like a fun time. take some pics to show us ok?

Scott:
Thanx for the comments.
I use sequence, stored on disc, load them up and sort them prior to the set. For spontaneous or special requests, i utilize my Roland R8 as accompanyment and play either keys or guitar along with it.
Quick & Dirty & works for me.
Glad the pics made it thru okay.
Good luck in your future gigs.
Everybody out there....Have a great summer and thanx for all your help over the years.

Oh - My Gosh ! ALL the popups in that site - what a nightmare. I was redirected at least 6 times in 15 seconds. I hate forced advertising.......but good luck with your new studio setup, Leon !

Yeah I didn't like the popups either. I can't believe anybody would actually buy anything from a pop-up ad. Evidently someone does or they wouldn't be so popular.
