To make my raised level, I cut peices of plexi-glass and built it that way.
It's easy to work with and cheep (a chemical bonds the edges together), but
best of all you can see under it. I also drilled holes to run the wires
through then soldered the tips on in place for maximum stability and
customization, but you have to know what you want first.
I took all of the power suplies completely out of the board and mounted
them
mid-way on a customized dolly, the bottom of which holds the footboard and
the top of which doubles as a rack mount and keyboard stand. (If any of you
are product developers--mackie, fender, gibson, whoever!--give me a ring
(USA 415.902.1098)... this is only the begining of a greater design of
something that really should be out there on the market.)
My question to Mike Killian is what did you use for the board itself. I dig
my little riser, but the board itself is just an SBK deal and I'm not at
all
satisfide with it. It works, but things are a loose and a little
cumbersome.
What I realy need is a fully customized deal--maybe even remove the
electronics, wire the boxes together and mount them in a plastic molded
customized jobby or something. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Chris Darrow.
