Because of chronic pain I need to be standing pretty much all the time now, I found this https://www.gear4music.com/PA-DJ-and-Lighting/Adjustable-Laptop-Stand-by-Gear4music/WJS? For my MacBook and I really need something similar for the synth itself, being 6ft4 I need it to be 115cm and above. I can't seem to find anything catered to a tall synth player who wants to stand, maybe I should ask Calvin Harris? Any ideas? I'm thinking of just getting a standing desk tbh.
I don't know, but I've been temporarily using the top of my upright piano as a stand, which is 109cm tall, and it feels like it could do with another inch, but I suppose one more cm will have to do...
There's definitely taller satnds out there, I just figured the synth was likely at least 2 inches high, to bring it up to your desired height. All that said yo can practise that slouch most keyboard players on totp as a kid had

I bit the 50% off Novation deal... Beasty little box, sounds great, just getting my head around the sequencer. I had a Circuit for a little while so I'm already familiar to a degree thankfully. Sold the circuit cos I hated the sound of the VA engine. Mono Station sounds way better.
I figure if there are Milk Cow Blues, Black Cat Blues, Bullfrog Blues then there might as well be Badger Blues too. I should probably have spent more time on mixing and mastering but frankly I couldn't be bothered. https://soundcloud.com/pikana/the-badger-blues
I highly recommend checking out Realearn for Reaper, it's a really powerful tool for proper per-project mapping of stuff to your MIDI hardware. Can MIDI learn for basically anything in the DAW or in the plugins, works pretty damn flawlessly.
Also I picked up inSIDious, an excellent SID chip emulation synth. Mike Clarke who made it used to be a sound engineer/composer/programmer for Psygnosis.
This guy has a bunch of covers of C64 tunes made with it -
Been listening to a fucktonne of SID tunes, as far as I'm concerned the chips are the most beautiful and raw sounding synthesisers ever made.
