Playing arranger keyboardsДЄrranger keyboards are so different from most synths and workstations that they require their own approach to performance. Secure cables and snakes to keyboard stands with Velcro.В If you want a tidy appearance,В donвЂ™tВ вЂњbarber-poleвЂќ cables around the standвЂ™s legs or X-members to take up the slack, theyвЂ™ll really fight your tired, impatient self when itвЂ™s time to tear down. (YouВ areВ carrying long extension cords and extra XLR cables for that, right?) Inside your keyboard kingdom, all should be familiar and repeatable, though youвЂ™ll want to build extra length into the amp/rack footprint-to-keyboard footprint run for larger venues where youвЂ™re able to put your amp or speakers further back to let them вЂњthrow.вЂќДҐ. Keep your footprint consistent.В The only cable runs whose lengths should need to vary from venue to venue are that of the main power drop to your keyboard riser or area, likewise the audio from your main DI or mixer to the front-of-house input panel. (If there arenвЂ™t enoughВ main mixer channelsВ for you to run in stereo, get a better gig.) I swear by Radial EngineeringвЂ™s stuff here.Д¤. Carry a good stereo direct box.В Because you can flick the ground lift and kill annoying hum if nothing else, but also so the house engineer can never tell you there arenвЂ™t enough DIs for you to run in stereo. Audiophile wisdom says to avoid running AC and audio cables in parallel, and though IвЂ™ve never had a problem doing so at a bar gig, you may opt for separate gangs for power and audio.ДЈ. Colour-code connectors with rubber bands or electrical tape so that plugging in becomes a process you do without thinking. Depending on how much of a pedal person you are, you may have a third just for running between keys and pedalboard. I suggest at least two per keyboard stand: one for all connections on the left sides of your keyboardsвЂ™ rear panels and one for all connections on the right.
