for years i have worked with separate racks/mixer systems. this all ended last year, after i saw ambient/texturalist Klaus Schulze's infamous "Quasimidi Wall" as he calls it. i realised long ago that i was spending too long setting up, as it takes me 20 minutes to get ready for a gig with my Hammond rig and 1-3 hours to get ready for an electro gig! i believe that a live-performance rack must be at sight/hand level, not necessarily at an angle, just tall enough you don't need to bend over to look at stuff. my rig is here: http://www.suitandtieguy.com/gallery_010502.htm in several of the pictures. i have 2 10-space rack areas with space in the middle for my mixer, which i didn't use because the way i mounted it originally was too ghetto for public consumption. it's a frame about 57 inches wide and about 20 inches tall or so. when i get to the gig i put it on a _very_ heavy duty keyboard stand. for Mark Hamburg i would suggest maybe a 24-space side-by-side rack, which is two 12-space racks in the same enclosure. AND the table. tables are great things to have as an electronic musician. i need to build a new rack ... i'm thinking a frame 15 spaces high by 3 rack units wide. i'm getting a second Z1, so i want to get the drum machines up on the rack. yeah it's gonna be ridiculous.
