I got this one last summer for my MPC Studio. I think it was only $15 at the time but they didn't have the cool Space Grey one either.

The Studio was the perfect width but stuck up over the top edge a little but it was fine. The Live fits perfectly top to bottom, but of course the sides hang off a couple inches. Doesn't move a bit when Im using it though.

I bought this. You have four fans to keep the MPC live cool. Adjustable height.
I've had it since 2017.

I have a bunch of different stands, over time though I've leaned towards...
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GL ... UTF8&psc=1
as my portable solution, it takes up virtually no space, is solid, and actually fits into my UDG bag
then I have like (4) of the Amazon Basic stands

I also have this for my Push 2, but I swap out other controllers such as the MPC - periodically as I purposely have no desk for my setup

Basically just look for laptop stands...

Printed this up with a buddy's 3D printer. Cost a total of $10 in 3D printer substrate using free plans available on the Internet, plus a little crazy glue and silicon pads. Do you access to a 3D printer?

I use the $7 Ikea BRADA It's a good fit, but not the sturdiest thing out there I'm sure. It does have some anti slip material under it to keep it from walking back when you pound on the pads.

When choosing a stand somethings to keep in mind are.

1. Ultra Stable (Does not shake or wobble at all.)
2. Height of your drum machine. (Important for posture.)
3. Height of your stool. (Your feet should be flat on the ground.)

This image is for pianist but it works well for MPC'ERS as well. Especially if you spend hour hovering over your machine. Wrist, Upper Back, Digestive, Lower Back (Sciatica), Neck (Smartphone neck), Shoulder, Hip injuries will develop. So try to avoid awkward angles and keep the machine has level to the floor as possible, the pads should be slight lower than your elbows.

Doing this will save you from unneeded injuries. For finger drummers, this is of the upmost important, because many of us use foot pedals. Which causes more strain on the hip and and ankle.
