Control Panel Stand for DJ DAO RE?

Cudda_Kine · 11-04-2009, 05:17 AM

I'm going to be buying a Real Edition soon. I want to buy a stand for it so i don't need to play sitting down. Will this work for the real edition??

I know it's made for the Arcade Quad Controller but it would come really in handy if i get the real edition AND the Arcade Quad Controller (Multi-Use).

What other, cheaper options do i have for the real edition stand?

I don't see a reason why you should buy that oh-so-expensive stand. I've seen people play it with keyboard stands in some videos, seems to have worked pretty well. (Also it's about 10? times cheaper.)
But hell, if you really want that thing, go ahead, it might work well.
On the other hand, who knows if the RES fits in there.
(also grats for getting up to the level of actually getting an RES)

Yeah. I bought a FP7 (sanwa+omron) last year and sold it last year lol. Just experiencing the sanwas made me want to get the re. I'm just using the JPKOC for now with the Cardboard mod.
I would'ved bought the RE a long time ago but i've lost (1) of my jobs so i kinda screwed myself lol.

I'm not sure which style to get though. I was thinking about getting the Distorted Templates with White Buttons and Yellow TT. Any other good "mixtures" for the RE?

EDIT: hey you're right. i found this on amazon.com for a way cheaper price than that $200+ stand lol.

Guitar Center has a double-X stand that works for around 100 bucks. Get that and save your money.

Or play sitting down like a boss.

Buy a cheap card table and play sitting down like a man.

Hell, the stand I got from Guitar Center has a 395lb weight capacity, it was $60, I think. The thing is literally indestructible. Here: On-Stage Stands Heavy-Duty Deluxe X ERGO-LOK Keyboard Stand and more Keyboard Stands & Racks at GuitarCenter.com.

Yeah, the things you guys posted could very well work, just make sure it can sit on that thing without tripping it. I mean, it may be indestructible but the question is wether or not it's comfortable, as you don't play IIDX like you play a keyboard.
We should get Dao to create such a stand! Who's with me??
Oh and as for the style, I'd say what you said with green TT LED, that looks real good. (also gets you that Genymede feel)
But you can change all the LEDs there for a couple bucks, so just pick what you think looks nice and if not get something else.
(note: Does not even have a Dao yet)

that looks extraordinarily uncomfortable. My table sits my controllers up at knee level when sitting down. It's p much amazing for me.

Yeah that looks way too high. My controller (the keys) is a little under a foot above my knees when I sit.

Honestly with that setup sometimes when I'm sitting up straight I feel like I'm too high.

I only really started using a table a while ago after playing with the controller in my lap for years and years. Mostly did it because I ended up putting the controller down on a chair in front of me and finally passed Setsugekka, so I decided to stick with solid surfaces :P

The perspective might be making the chair look lower than it actually is, it does look pretty low in that picture.

EDIT: I just actually measured, sitting down. The keys are a little more than 4 inches above the top of my leg in playing position

as far as that double X stand goes. i have the single x version of the same stand which i use for my jp-8000 as well as my pop'n controller. I have never had any problem with tipping, its got a nice center of gravity. so i don't really think you will have a problem with the double X at all.

edit: the synth is pretty heavy while my pop'n controller (DSAC) is fairly light, for comparison of weight vs tipping.

I've ordered this one two days ago since it was only $50!...

If this one is crap, i'll probably try out the X-stand.

Interesting design, looks potentially wobbly though.

If it works great for you let us know, I still need a better stand for my Pop'n controller.

When I got my RE doubles, I got a long cardboard table from Wal-Mart for $2X.00. Very sturdy for its price. I forget exactly how long it is, but it's just long enough to hold the controller at its rubber pegs. I'll try to take a picture of it later.
