u/Taome · 24 pointsr/piano

I have a P45 and like it. The plastic on it is pretty sturdy so it took quite a serious whack for it to crack and displace like that. Personally, I wouldn't pay more than $100 for one with that kind of damage even assuming everything actually works. If you are really set on it, though, here's what I would do -

  • Check each and every key at different velocities and loudness to make sure they all work and don't stick.
  • Make sure the sustain pedal and the polyphony both work.
  • Play as loud as you can for a bit (e.g., full keyboard arpeggios or block chords up and down the keyboard) with the sustain pedal down to push the speakers hard to see how they sound (i.e., aren't torn or otherwise blown).
  • download the owners manual for it and use it to carefully check that every function works.
  • Take a flashlight with you and use it to look between the keys to see how much crud there is (crumbs, cat hair and the like can build up around the electrical contacts under the keys causing them to stop working after a while).
  • The missing music sheet holder is a rather big deal so check with Yamaha to see if you can get a replacement (and the cost if it is available).
  • Check the stability of the stand (the cheapo single-X type stands like this one are typically rather wobbly, a double-X is much better).
  • Look closely underneath to see if the plastic there is also cracked.
  • Take a headset with a 1/4 inch adapter to make sure the sound out socket works.
  • Make an "hmm, I don't know about this" comment every time you come across something that is off or questionable to help strengthen your bargaining position at the end.

    I hope this helps, good luck!

I use this CyberClean goo to clean out keyboards, laptops, screens, stereo equipment and so forth.

Unless your gunk is very lodged in, this will get it off by just pressing it gently on the nooks and crannies. It's awesome.

u/worra · 5 pointsr/guitarpedals

Cheapest I could find the real deal online was $4 each, so eight of those would come to $32, a little cheaper. If you want to do off-brand, these look cheap ($13 for eight) but I've never tried them:

https://www.amazon.com/Mr-Power-Guitar-Effect-Pedal-Cable/dp/B01BD8VZNI/ref=sr_1_2?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1491151035&sr=1-2&keywords=pedal+power+cable

u/Teknotard · 5 pointsr/guitarpedals

While I totally agree. This is ultimately the same as daisy chaining and will still give you some noise. I would like to point out that it isn't "way cheaper"

Here is a one spot kit for 28 bucks https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000RNB720/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1467162959&sr=8-1&pi=SX200_QL40&keywords=one+spot+power+supply&dpPl=1&dpID=512O0YtGQRL&ref=plSrch

Here is the agptek for 36 https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00HH62VB6/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1467163002&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=agptek+power+supply&dpPl=1&dpID=51S%2BfzRko%2BL&ref=plSrch

For an additional 8 bucks you get the added benefit of a 12 and 18 volt power supply in a not convenient package.

I got one of them, knowing it was not isolated, to clean up my board. It is way easier to keep tidy with this then the one spot. Especially of you aren't using all of the plugs.

u/VladStark · 4 pointsr/MPX

I haven't posted in a while, sorry if I'm nubbing this up but couldn't figure out how to post an image and text?! Anyway, this is the case: Gator GK-2110 Gig Bag for Micro Controllers (22.5" x 11.5" x 4") https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002GL7ZO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_Tgza5wCBZn6cf

I used Kaizen foam, 57mm for the inside. My setup isn't anything flashy, haven't had time or money to do much extra to it yet, but I figured you'd guys might like this case if you want an option for the 8" barrel with collapsible am brace, or setups of similar length. This case is very lightweight yet padded enough to provide decent protection for trips to the range or just having it in my trunk. It's also somewhat discrete and not tactical looking.

u/Senor_Diablo · 4 pointsr/guitarpedals

I went with this one. Lots of favorable reviews.

https://www.amazon.com/Donner-Guitar-Supply-Isolated-Output/dp/B00WHLLDWO/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

I was using 2 One Spots and just wasn't happy with it. This takes care of most of my board and I have a One Spot powering 4 pedals. Love that this has an 18 Volt option.

My Philospher's Tone was really noisy when engaged with the original plug. It's much quieter plugged into this thing. I'm surprised, but thrilled with the results.

u/sharkamino · 3 pointsr/vinyl

All in ones with speakers built in are terrible.

Lowest budget decent to start with entry level turntable is Audio Technica LP60XUSB £119. Or look for a better used vintage turntable for possibly less.

Low budget speakers: Mordaunt Short M10 £59 with low budget amp IMG Stageline SA-50 £59 or SMSL SA-50 £63 mini amp. Add speaker wire: AmazonBasics 14-Gauge or similar, then 4 Ways to Strip Wire - wikiHow.

Or powered speakers: Tibo PLUS 2.1 £149.

Or look for a used integrated amp, stereo or AV receiver and a pair of used bookshelf speakers for less.

u/FilthyTerrible · 3 pointsr/Guitar

The pedal itself will require a power supply. They come in singles and multi-pedal versions. And you'll require an additional guitar chord to run from the pedal to your amp. Most pedals will run a 9V battery, but that might get expensive for you over time.

u/WinterCept · 3 pointsr/guitarpedals

I don’t have experience with the more expensive brand true isolated power supplies from brands like Voodoo Labs, T.Rex, Etc. But a lot of the people I’ve talk to and jammed with do and they seem to work just fine.

Strymon, TrueTone, MXR, and Walrus Audio also make them.

I have an inexpensive Donner DP-1 which isn’t truly isolated but it’s stable, cost effective and noise free in my setup. It’s also generally well reviewed.

It’s got seven 9v 100ma outs, a 12v out, and an 18v out all at 100ma, and one 9v 500ma out. And I’ve been using it with a few different analog pedals for about a year I think.

Is there anything you need specifically that you can’t find?

u/ctfrommn · 3 pointsr/BudgetAudiophile

Lets assume you can buy from Amazon.co.uk.....

Speakers - $100

Subwoofer - $100

Amplifier or this or this. - $60

Will sound much better than PC speakers.

u/Mechsae · 3 pointsr/dropmix

I've been rocking a Gator GK-2110 Gig Bag for Micro Controllers. Holds the board well enough and some space for Ultra Pro deck boxes with Ultra Pro penny sleeved cards. The front pouch is big enough to fit an iPad as well, so everything is in one place!

u/joeribraams · 3 pointsr/guitarpedals

Just a 2.1mm DC jack cable I suppose. I'd guess it'd be kinda hard to find those separately as they tend to just come with power supplies.

EDIT: Found some on amazon but they only come in packs of 8 or more: https://www.amazon.com/Mr-Power-Guitar-Effect-Pedal-Cable/dp/B01BD8VZNI

u/travvvvvvv · 3 pointsr/guitarpedals

What you need is a daisy chain. You can either buy just the daisy chain with your existing power supply, or you can get a combo daisy chain + power supply.

This will likely be just fine for just two pedals, but once you get a few more pedals, or you get more power hungry digital pedals, or pedals with special voltage requirements, you'll want to look into an isolated power brick like a Voodoo Labs Pedal Power, or Truetone CS7

u/tmwrnj · 3 pointsr/Guitar

You'll need a standard 9v power supply following the Boss standard - 2.1mm tip negative.

I'd suggest avoiding eBay, because there are a lot of dodgy Chinese power supplies that aren't really safe or reliable. If you're on a budget, I'd recommend the Donner DPA-1 - it's $14, it'll power up to five pedals and it comes with a warranty.

u/sayitaintso_57 · 3 pointsr/guitarpedals

I would do more research and find out if you really need an isolated power supply. You should be fine with a one spot or cheap power supply. The amount of noise that will be reduced with an isolated power supply will not be that great. I know people on here rave about them, but I honestly don't notice a huge difference. I have a lot of pedals and have tried the Walrus Phoenix and Voodoo Lab PP+ and I returned them both. The best thing I have found for killing noise is using the Zoom MS-50G's ZNR noise canceller effect. The pedal is only $100 and it took away a lot more noise than the isolated power supplys that cost $180-$280. You also get 100+ effects. Just add an MS-50G to your board and get a cheap power supply like this: https://www.amazon.com/AGPtek-Isolated-Cricuit-Overcurrent-Protection/dp/B00HH62VB6/ref=sr_1_sc_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1506038976&sr=8-2-spell&keywords=guiatrt+power+supply

u/tardisgater · 2 pointsr/breakingmom

I have a stand like [this one: ] (https://www.amazon.com/Stage-KS7150-Table-Keyboard-Stand/dp/B000EXIMFI/ref=br_lf_m_r2pcbvggf66h9wy_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&s=musical-instruments) which is a lot more stable, easier to anchor down and you might be able to fit your amp under it which helps both with storage and hiding cords. Is it possible to block off the part of the room with the piano? Like, have the piano in a corner and have a baby gate around it (like the playpen type of baby gates), since that's a lot of things to keep out of reach. Speaking of the amount of things, are headphones an option? If you could leave the amp in a storage area then you could put the pedal and headphones up whenever they weren't in use and the piano would be the only thing you'd have to worry about. Bonus points: you could play during naptime.


You'll also need to think of how to secure the keyboard to the base (regardless of what you put the keyboard on) since it's easy to pull down. I haven't looked at the bottom of mine for a while, but are there any holes/bars that you could loop zip ties through to keep it on the stand? You should be able to bolt down the stand to the wall like any other piece of furniture.


If none of that sounds doable, do you have closet space to store it? Maybe just keep a space clear for it and unpack it when you want to play and re-pack it up when you aren't. That'd be a really annoying option, but it could work as a last resort scenario. I hope you can get it figured out so it works for your family!

u/HueKnewTwo · 2 pointsr/guitarpedals

Did you remove the cables in between usage?
If not, replace battery and do so after every time you finish playing....or get an adapter.

Here is a 9v adapter for $8. It’ll work fine.

9V AC/DC Power Adapter for Casio Piano Keyboard, Zoom Guitar Multi Effects Pedal, BOSS, Dunlop, DanElectro, DigiTech, Ditto, Electro Harmonix, TC Electronic by LotFancy, UL Listed, Center Negative https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07234PV7Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_JyYuDb077XHGP

u/luxaeterna952 · 2 pointsr/guitarpedals

I’m not opposed to having two, but if I were to return it and buy this Donner Guitar Effect Pedals Power Supply DP-4 8 Plus Isolated Output for 9/12/18V 4~9V Pedals https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073W8P6QY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_9-UgAb4X8AJHY then I’d have the perfect number of outputs correct?

u/tiztim · 2 pointsr/violinist

you don't say what throws it out of tune but I suspect the peg is slipping. Peg oil http://www.amazon.com/The-Original-Peg-Drops-Ardsley/dp/B000F3JO7M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1396652025&sr=8-1&keywords=peg+oil or some rosin dust in the peg holes will help.

u/ProgHog231 · 2 pointsr/Bass

I have a big Pedaltrain board - I think it's like 32 inches long. I recently decided I needed a smaller board for when space is tight, or when I don't want to lug 50 lbs of pedals. I went with this board from Gator. I also have a Voodoo Labs power supply on the big board, but I was feeling poor when it came to the new one. I wound up going with this one, figuring I could always return it, if it was noisy. But it's been dead quiet and powers the pedals fine.

u/iamtuck3r · 2 pointsr/piano

For sure, I paid roughly $600 just for my P-105. I must admit though the full stand will make your life so much better. The piano will stay stable and not move around. Definitely worth the price. I really like that sustain pedal as well. I hate the simple square one I have, so that's another plus of this bundle. The last thing would be just replacing that chair, I've never used a scissor style chair, but it can't be any more stable than a scissor stand. I'd recommend replacing that if you start really getting into piano.

u/Musiclover4200 · 2 pointsr/guitarpedals

Non isolated: https://www.amazon.com/Donner-Guitar-Supply-Isolated-Output/dp/B00WHLLDWO

That listing says it's isolated but I am almost certain it's not, but for 40$ you get 8 9v outputs + a 12v and 18v. 1 9v is 500ma so you could daisy chain it for another 5 100ma pedals.

Isolated:

The Donner ISO 8 cost 80-90$ but is actually isolated though it only has 8 outputs but a few are switchable from 9-12-18v, and it has 2 300ma outputs so once again you could chain up a few extra pedals.

I have the cheaper supply except it's branded as Caline, otherwise it's identical. It's worked great for a long time, even though it isn't isolated I've only had a few pedals that were noisy with it. The only downside is a lack of on/off switch, but I just unplug the power input which only takes a few seconds longer.

I know you said you don't need higher voltage outputs, but they can be nice. Eventually you may have a use for them, some pedals really do sound better at higher voltages though only a few are made for it. Also the Donner ISO 8 has 2 4-9v outputs so you can starve pedals which is an interesting feature.

u/xalorous · 2 pointsr/Guitar

1x4 board cut to desired length, built into desired size/shape. $5-20, or possibly repurposed.
Stain, sandpaper, glue, miter box and saw, clamps. $50 mostly reusable, building tool kit.

pedalboard tape $30 enough for 10-15 pedalboards.

isolated power supply $40.

The tape is the best, I unabashedly recommend it, 3M makes good stuff. The power supply I cannot recommend for or against because I have no experience with it. I'm sure some time shopping and researching will find a $40-90 solution that is recommended.

I'd suggest making the top at least two boards 18-24" wide with a 1" gap between them. Connect them with three angled bits to a bottom piece made from two more boards. Leave room for the power supply between top and bottom. Use the gap between the boards to keep the wiring. You can use more board to build a cover. Cabinet hardware to secure top to board, but be removable. It can look as raw or polished as you want. Paint, stain, stickers, whatever.

Edit: Also, watch That Pedal Show. Depending on your time, the above materials plus the time to learn and redo mistakes can quickly add up to "It might be cheaper to buy a manufactured board".

u/philroyjenkins · 2 pointsr/diypedals

I have this already https://www.amazon.com/Donner-Guitar-Supply-Isolated-Output/dp/B00WHLLDWO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1495833819&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=donner+power+supply&psc=1 which is about the same thing.

I just don't like that the best way to connect it is a flimsy and cumbersome wall wort. I'd much rather have a hefty and universal extension cable.

u/alaskaman42 · 2 pointsr/DJs

I don't need a laptop with my controller all the time and was considering using this keyboard stand

u/spreadsheet_jockey · 2 pointsr/piano

If you played the cello for a bunch of years I'm guessing you already know how to read music and hear when you've screwed up a note, so that's gonna be a huge help.

I'm in my 30s and just started playing the piano again after a 20+ year hiatus. I took lessons for 2-3 years when I was in elementary school, and then dabbled in various instruments throughout high school, then just stopped. I decided to take up piano again like 2 months ago.

  1. Roland FP-30 is great, especially for entry level.

  2. Stand choice is really up to you. I don't think the KDP-70 pedal unit will work without the KSC-70 stand, though, since it attaches to the stand. If it's feasible financially and you don't need it to be portable I think the stand and pedal unit combo are a good choice. I have a cheap pedal that doesn't attach to the stand and definitely have issues with it trying to wander around my floor. The furniture-style stand and attached pedal are definitely more similar to an acoustic piano than my hacky setup. That said you can get cheaper stands and pedals that are adequate. I'd just warn you to stay away from cheap single X-stands because they're really wobbly. With your height I'd go for a Z stand or the furniture stand so you're not bashing your knees.

  3. I have a teacher. I would be a hot mess of bad habits without my teacher. It's not even that expensive, as things go. Totally find yourself a teacher if it is at all humanly possible.

    Also, don't feel like you have to practice a million hours a day. I practice 30-60 minutes a day and am advancing much faster than I expected. I suspect it's better to practice 30 minutes a day every day than to try to practice 2 hours a day and then get overwhelmed and busy and skip days all the time.
u/theunderwrittenmusic · 2 pointsr/diypedals

Who knows how precise this is (hint: probably not very) but what's wrong with something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Donner-DP-1-Guitar-Supply-Isolated/dp/B00WHLLDWO

u/[deleted] · 2 pointsr/Guitar

Something to consider, is if you're going to be transporting this pedalboard around a lot. I have a Stealth from BlackBird that I got for around $20, but the carrying case they have displayed didn't come with it so transporting it around is a bit of a hassle.

If you're looking for cheap though I'd recommend the Stealth if you can find one.

My powersupply is an AgPtek which is doing a pretty solid job so far. I didn't want a tangled mess of a daisy chain to power the board so this takes care of that problem.

I also purchased some 3M velcro to stick everything to the pedalboard. I have a couple lines of it on top and on the back of my pedals so they stay and I can move them around in a loop, and I've used it to attach my power supply to the underside.

Or if you want something that will work just as good, you could find a slab of wood and use some velcro on it.

u/Piske41 · 2 pointsr/guitarpedals

I don't personally, but those are good power supplies. The Voodoo Labs supplies are popular as well. I actually run two cheap power supplies I got on Amazon - they aren't completely isolated, but I have had 0 issues with them at all: Donner Dp-1 Guitar Pedal Power Supply 10 Isolated DC Output for 9V/12V/18V Effect Pedal https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WHLLDWO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_e4Ozzb3PHSFDH

u/pwylladune · 2 pointsr/guitarpedals

They usually don't come with one, though some do, because they generally all use the same standard (2.1mm by 5.5mm center negative 9v). You can get a cheap wall plug with a daisy chain for 5+ pedals for under $20 on Amazon, which is a great place to start since it will cover your needs probably for years.

https://smile.amazon.com/Donner-Supply-Adapter-Negative-Cables/dp/B012VQ5A7S/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1537208434&sr=8-6&keywords=one+spot+power+supply

I still use one of these with my travel board.

u/miller190 · 2 pointsr/piano

I use a stand like this https://www.amazon.com/Plixio-Piano-Keyboard-Stand-Adjustable/dp/B07574VQPQ?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_3
It is much more sturdy than an x stand. It may cost a little more but it is worth it. Trying to play fast or loud pieces on an x stand causes the piano to shake a lot.

u/rrogersca · 2 pointsr/synthesizers

It’s a Plixio Z style stand. The second tier is made by Knox. It was purchased separately and added on later. I’m really happy with both.

The stand and second tier were both purchased from amazon.

/but I am a noob and don't play anything like chopin etudes. All I can say is that for a beginner this stand feels very solid and doesn't move.

u/keyboredcats · 2 pointsr/guitarpedals

This looks a little cheaper, idk on quality but they look ok to me I guess?

u/CodeSorcerer · 2 pointsr/piano

I can't speak as to whether or not they will be releasing a new model any time soon but I've owned a P-255 for about a year or so now and it is definitely one that I will be using indefinitely, or at least until I get to a more advanced level. It is a pretty solid piano for the price range. The keys feel good and I love being able to record right to a flash drive. My only complaint is that the speakers in the piano sound a bit weak sometimes but the issue is non-existent if you are playing with headphones. Portability wise, the piano does have some weight to it so juts keep that in mind.


As far as stands go, check out Z-stands. And see which ones will work for you. Example




I am currently using these headphones and they are fantastic. Incredible comfort and sound. The cable swaps out from the headphones so you can either plug them directly into the piano or swap the cord and use it to listen to music on your phone.

u/jordanmichaelfrancis · 2 pointsr/ZOIA

Any 5V USB to 9V center negative DC step up converter will work.

I’m using this one

u/hewlandrower · 2 pointsr/Bass

Actually, the JOYO JP-02 has filters and a PCB, thus making it not just a glorified daisy chain. Each output puts out 100ma which points towards each output being isolated. It is also advertised that if one output goes out that the rest will still function, which is also something that isolated outputs do.

http://www.amazon.com/Power-Supply-JP-02-Isolated-Effect/dp/B00B5X2W4I

I was able to find a BBE Supa Charger on the amazon warehouse for $100. Maybe keep an eye out over there as well?

u/IntriguedPsycho · 2 pointsr/basspedals

If you’re looking for a cheaper isolated power supply under $100 check out the Donner Dp-4. I have the Dp-3 and it’s built like a tank but the Dp-4 has a total of 8 9v outputs instead of six.

Don’t get the Dp-1 or 2 because they aren’t truly isolated.

I got this [stand](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000EXIMFI/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
) recently. Then I went to Home Depot and got a thin wood board cut to the size of the surface. I've found that to be a great solution! Both the height and width are adjustable, plus it works as just a table if you're not using it. Kind of a poor man's standing desk.

u/matrix121391 · 2 pointsr/dropmix

I am currently using this to store my cards (sleeved), which is perfect for wave 1 (one compartment per genre with dividers to separate each playlist, as organized in the app's Collection section):

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002TT3JI/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I might end up getting another one for wave 2.

For the Dropmix board itself, I took the advice from several threads around here and on Discord:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002GL7ZO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The deck box I specified fits pretty well in the front pouch. The main compartment is a tad bigger than what the board requires, but you can probably use the extra space for more deck boxes or speakers.

I can take some pictures after work if ya'll would like!

u/IsomerSC · 2 pointsr/piano

Ideas:
-Can sit on some books to raise yourself a bit higher
-Get yourself a higher bench, there's this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000GUR8V8/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1
-Put books or planks underneath the bench itself, if you prefer the feel of the bench seat.
-Get something else to support the piano. Doesn't have to be the stand, can be a bookshelf or whatever works.

u/MrDulkes · 2 pointsr/dropmix

This is the Gator GK-2110 case that has been mentioned here before, combined with the Ultimate Guard Arkhive 400+ card case. I use Ultimate Guard dividers to separate the playlists in the box, and Fantasy Flight grey sleeves (I didn't link to the sleeves, as you should not get those on Amazon. Too expensive!)

The whole bag closes well when you pack it as shown in the photo. The bag is obviously not intended for a card box that is that high, so it's not perfect perfect, but it is, IMHO, a pretty good solution, the best I have found.

The Arkhive case has plenty of room for additional playlists, and the cover folds out to become a nice "playmat", very handy to keep card sleeves clean when sorting, deck building, etc (see bottom right picture). It is a fairly expensive case though.

If you put everything together like I did in the lower left picture, with the card case at the "hinge" side of the Gator case, then it zips up like in the top picture. I don't think you will get the case to zip if you try and put the cards on the other side of the board. I didn't try, I didn't want to break things. I am quite comfortable that there are no stresses on anything that will cause zippers to break, fabric to rip, or card boxes to get crushed.

  • Audio Interface - $100 Comes with ableton which can be used to record the midi and also comes with a free addictive keys piano. Pretty nice for the price. There's about 7 ms of latency when I use this setup on my laptop which is completely unnoticeable.

  • [VPC 1] (https://www.musicstore.de/en_US/EUR/Kawai-VPC1-Masterkeyboard/art-SYN0004258-000) - About $1400 dollars after shipping and a duty tax of $76 will be charged if you live in the U.S. Still cheaper than I was able to find it elsewhere

    You'll also need a nice pair of speakers or headphones. I use the Audio-Technica ATH-AD700x's which are open back and they sound pretty good. I actually got a set of Sterling MX5 studio monitors in addition to my headphones to set on top of the piano and they sound amazing. If you ever think you will be playing for anyone or performing I recommend getting a pair of the MX5's. It's about $200 and then $10 for a cable. They will hook right up to the audio interface.

While it doesn't have a music stand with it, I would recommend this stand instead since it's built like a tank and for not much more: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016N052M6 you can also add a 2nd tier to it if you decide to expand and add another keyboard later on. It's not collapsible, but it has zero wobble or flex at all.

Hey guys, first hangout post. I got my Microkorg 2 weeks ago and let me tell ya. as a long time guitarist it is a whoolee neww wooooorrrld! Starting Monday I'll be spending a week with my brother and a friend of ours recording a record at my buddies home in Kentucky. Should be a really cool experience and I look forward to getting the most out of my Microkorg as well as my brother's Microbrute! Please comment with any tips/tricks to try on either synth, I feel im picking it up quickly but its still a learning process. Thanks guys!

side note: anyone looking for a case for the Microkorg, I bought this one from amazon, good deal at $30 and fits it very well

u/NorrecV · 1 pointr/piano

You should get a piano bench that is adjustable. I started with the one linked below, although I'd shop around as the price may have jumped up. I don't remember spending 50 dollars, but considering it's lasted 6 years I guess it was worth it. It's not 100% adjustable since it has "levels" and you might end up needing a height between levels. The acoustic piano benches that are fully adjustable cost $200+ though. A bench at the proper height will help avoid back pain after playing for a little while.

Scales are good to learn, you can do this as a warm up. I just listed two that seem to come up often and only had a single black key in them. I wouldn't recommend learning only scales as that would get boring. My teacher would have me do one scale as a warm up and when I could play it two-octave, hands together, including the 3 primary chords and inversions, and the arpeggio (the book we used had all of these on one page) then we'd move to a new one.

Now I'm going back and playing the scales of any pieces I'm working on at the time during warm-up. I do 4 octaves contrary motion. So it starts out normal then half way left hand starts going back down and right hand keeps going up. When right hand hits the 4th octave it starts going down and left hand starts going up again. Makes them feel fresh. I can learn scales faster than pieces so soon I'll have to start rotating scales in that aren't tied to pieces.

Edit - this is the new book I use for scales. The old one was fine but this had a little more info in it. There were some sections at the beginning that explained how scales were formed before getting into the usual big list of all of them.

I use this stand for my P115. No problems with wobbling but it doesn't look like the L85 if that's what you're after.

u/harmonicaccent · 1 pointr/piano

If you do end up getting the P-45, you'd have to have quite a low desk or high chair to be able to play it comfortably. I got this stand for it and it's worked wonderfully.

u/thedevin242 · 1 pointr/guitarpedals

Anything isolated in my opinion. You could do a 1 spot in the meantime, but I stopped using mine several years ago after I got more pedals. I have a Walrus Phoenix, but that’s totally overkill for you right now. They have a smaller version called the Aetos which is really great. It’s on the higher end of the price. MXR and T Rex have some options that are around the $99 mark. Amazon has some generic versions called Donners, which I’ve seen before and will probably work fine for a while. I guess you just take the risk as it gets older of the probably no-name transformers going out and surging your pedals; maybe not worth it then.

I do highly recommend either the MXR mini and T Rex mini are my most recommended if you can afford them.

u/Not_Procrastinating · 1 pointr/piano

Stand:

Depends on whether you want to get the official stand or a generic X stand. If you were getting the DXG 660, it appears to come with a stand I think? The official stand for the P-115 will set you back about $100.
Whilst a X style stand probably costs around $25.

Stool:

Cheaper stools can be had for around $25. If you wanted something fancy like you would get with an acoustic, then probably around $60 upwards?

Pedal unit

Note that you will probably want to buy a decent sustain pedal (the one that came with my P105 was terrible). Again you can get a generic one for around $20. The official pedal unit for the P115 will set you back $75.

Any 9V DC with at least 600mA will do.

So do not get any higer in voltage and never lower in A.

The powerconsumption is written on the back of the MS-101 (9v 600mA) + the symbols for DC and for inside - outside + .

Keywords to look for:

Center TIP negative -

2.5mm

6ft (2m) (that is the cable length)

and of cause 9v 1A

u/The_JSC · 1 pointr/Guitar

I have one of these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WHLLDWO?psc=1. I've only had it around 6 months, but it's been reliable and is reasonably priced. It's got 8 9v, 1 12v and 1 18v outlets. 1 of the 9v is 500ma so if you don't have any high power draw pedals you can put a daisy chain cable off it to power more than one pedal. All the other 9v are 100ma.

u/audubonsai · 1 pointr/Guitar
u/MarkHoppusFaceCream · 1 pointr/Guitar

What you're looking for is called a "boost converter" in power electronic terms. If you find one, make sure it has good filtering since it's going to have a switch in it that creates noise unless it's an expensive or heavy linear converter (usually with a transformer in it).

If I was going to do this, I'd either just deal with two supplies or get something that kicks out all of the necessary voltages like this:

https://www.amazon.com/Donner-Guitar-Supply-Isolated-Output/dp/B00WHLLDWO

The problem with the multiple output voltages is that the receptacles on it look like they are the same configuration, so you could accidentally plug your 9V pedal into the 12V or 18V ones, and that could cause catastrophic damage.

Because I'm kind of an idiot, I don't like using systems/connection configurations that combine voltages unless I really need to. If I end up plugging the wrong thing into the wrong thing, things blow up. I'd just keep a separate wiring system for things with different voltages even though it's annoying so I didn't do anything stupid.

u/YesNoMaybe · 1 pointr/Guitar

If you are planning on getting any other pedals, consider getting a multi-supply power box, like this.

They're pretty cheap and handy.

u/OnaZ · 1 pointr/piano

Because they come straight from the factory packaged as one unit.

I would take some measurements and see if you can get away with a similar wood stand from Yamaha.

If you are susceptible to back pain, I suggest an inexpensive adjustable piano bench and a thick memory foam cushion. It's what I use, and my back is terrible due to a motorcycle accident. But with this, I can sit at the piano for hours w/o pain. (I have a better bench though then this one that I linked to)

u/bohemianguitarguy · 1 pointr/Guitar

I’m looking at buying a pedal board and amp for my acoustic guitar. The amp is strictly for home practice and not for gigs. For the pedal board I was looking at the gator aluminum board: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IJYE1CW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_q9j3Cb8P04M3V
For the power supply for the board I was looking at the Donner DP-1: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WHLLDWO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_j.j3Cb1VH1V0Q
For the amp I was considering the Acoustic A20. I was just interested in any feedback and recommendations?

u/prustage · 1 pointr/audiophile

Pre-amps in general are there to turn the low level signals needing a range of equalisation curves that you might get from a variety of devices into a consistent level output that is correctly formatted to be fed into a power amp that will then amplify the signal to a level that will drive loudspeakers. They dont make the sound any louder. As an extra, they often offer tone controls filters or graphic equalisers since this processing is easier to do at the pre-amp level.

In your case buying a preamp would be a waste of time since it wouldnt give you the extra volume that you require. A power amp would be better since it is designed to boost volume, but there is also no guarantee that it will accept the kind of signal that comes from your devices.

I'm guessing that there is a jack plug output from all of your devices (the thing you plug headphones into). If this is the case your best best is to get the cheapest integrated amp you can find and use that. Here is an example, here is another one. These are the cheapest I could find but if you have the money there are many better options.

u/niandra3 · 1 pointr/guitarpedals

I have to disagree somewhat.. in my experience the daisy chain 1Spot was really noisy and would squeal when attached to certain pedals, in addition to adding noise to the signal. I now use a cheap Donner supply which isn't isolated, but it is a big step up from the daisy chain, for not much more money.

/u/fishfryy if you can afford it, get the proper isolated ones mentioned above, that's what I'm doing next. If you need more power, then the 1Spot C12 (not a daisy chain) or Walrus Phoenix are both good options as well.

u/darksier · 1 pointr/piano

I've used this sort of z-stand for anything under 80 pounds.

Z stands will not have your keyboard as near the wall as an X stand can get it. But you also won't be kicking your stand anymore to access your pedal unit. Usually the Z stands have a higher/lower adjustment without sacrificing stability.

u/Beowuwlf · 1 pointr/guitarpedals

u/C4RB0NUN1T · 1 pointr/guitarpedals

u/jupitergeorge · 1 pointr/edmproduction

I have a keystation88. It feels pretty good, it took a bit of breaking in to stop the keys from clicking, but it feels nice. As stated its not an acoustic piano but its comparable to a cheaper electric piano with weighted keys. Its a good buy (I paid 180 for mine) and there isnt really anything else in the price point that compares. Take the money you save and invest in a sturdy table style stand (example).

Need to see the port where the adapter plugs in on the LeapDesk itself. Generally any 9v adapter will work as long as I can provide AT LEAST 500ma. But some devices have a non standard barrel jack. Thus the need to see the device. If it’s standard barrel size then this should work fine. Amazon: 9v 850ma AC to DC Wall Adapter

Please note that is US plug, you may need an EU plug depending on where you live.

I personally picked up a Yamaha P95 as a beginner and am fairly happy with it. As a newbie, I can't compare the action of the keys, but they feel similar to a real piano. The extra features are nice, but are never really used (metronome is probably the only thing). I did buy a midi controller so I could use software on my computer for practicing, sounds, and recording. The price you are quoted seems kind of high to me, unless you are getting the stand too. I got mine brand new for 399$ (without the stand).

Behringer makes a version, although I doubt it's much better quality, if at all. I've had my 1Spot for years and it's never failed! It's possible you had a dud. I'd give 'em another chance!

Another option would be to get an inexpensive power supply to leave at home. I have this one on my board. It's basically a glorified daisy chain but with more voltage options. I really want a fancy isolated supply but couldn't justify the cost at the moment. This one one suits me fine for now and I could see it doing well in a at-home convenience situation.

I like it because I can adjust the height of the stand. Additionally I can move it closer/away from the TV. It allows me to move it to the perfect spot.

I play bemani in my living room, and sometimes when I have company I move the controller and the stand in order to make more room and avoid telling people to not use it as a coaster. The stand survives moving well.

You may want to add protective sleeves to your gear because the padding is a little lackluster (if not absent in certain spots), but the size is just a perfect compromise and the front pocket is quite useful for cables and such.

Thanks, it does sound like vertical stacking is probably the way to go.

Do you have any suggestions for vertically stacked stands to check out?

Privia PX-160 is my reco for a beginner looking to invest a bit more, but still under $600. I also recommend going to Guitar Center and playing a couple just in case you have a preference in another direction, but if you’re looking for a solid starter keyboard with weighted keys, this one is great. I did a lot of research. There is a dude at Kraft Music (kraftmusic.com) named Michael that I talked to on the phone and he was super helpful. My bundle was $533 and they don’t charge tax or shipping. And they sell packages: piano + console/stand + pedal.
