Hi,

my MPC is standing on my e-piano and if I want to read scores I have to move it on the right or left side of the e-piano top. I cannot read the display anymore then. When I put something like a video-cassette under the mpc then it is OK but I want something more sturdy to tilt the MPC. Ideally a metal frame with a good grip on the bottom and adjustable tilt. I found some threads about floor stands here, does someone have a good solution for he kind of stand I need?

TIA, regards
Herbert

Like to find one myself as well.

Since I could not find anything from the shelves, I went to an expanded foam shop today and got something made.

Works great, and costs only about 15$ including a slip mat between the foam and the piano.

I put that cheesy statue there to manifest what you think about placing an mpc on a clavinova.

This is supposed to demonstrate why the mpc does not go where the scores belong. Of course, why would one buy an mpc for anything else than "Dark Star" variations.

BTW I also recommend expanded foam as a speaker stand. It absorbs well, looks acceptable and is cheap.
