Stand for Super Gemini

What stands are you people using? I have a K&M 18953 for my Nord 61-key, fits exactly. It would be a bit short, width and depth, for the Gemini, but is rock-solid. Can’t find a bigger K&M, but figure getting a second 18953 should be OK. Nord is 900 wide, compared to SG’s 1040, 260 depth compared to SG’s 440 . . . Big mistake?!

I’m using a K&M 18810, it’s super solid and fit’s well under the SG. Your 18953 looks even stronger. So i don’t think it’s a mistake.

OK, thanks. I’ll try the SG on it, and order a second one if it’s wide enough.

I’m using a K&M Omega Pro, no problems with it at all. I just prefer this leg style for a semi-permanent set up. There’s more room for your leg underneath since the frame doesn’t go all the way around. It just feels more comfortable for me to sit at.

I actually have both styles from K&M, and they are both plenty strong. 18950 is the 4 legged version I have, it’s a bit wider from front to back and you can adjust the width, it might be the better choice for the SG if you go that way.

I also use the Omega/18810 with a lowered/modded stacker. Works well with Gemini on top.

I went with Liquid Stands Z-stand with wheels, because it sits beside my recording desk as both my main synth and MIDI controller. Super sturdy stand and I like it better than the On-Stage Z-stands I’ve used inthe past. The wheels let me roll it out of the way when clients are here and I’m not composing.

oof.. made the mistake of preordering a synth when my stand is out of space.. Then I remembered @GregVDS had a really neat solution with drawer. I am thinking about using an IKEA desk stand since its easily available. So I started a quick sketchup drawing cubes in Tinkercad but then discovered you can actually import 3d objects. With machine learning its actually really simple to convert images to 3d models. Then I converted some images of my equipment, and voilà, its fairly easy to get a real sense of how it will work out.

(I will actually have to make the depth a bit more shallow)

Dropped IKEA plan and instead made a countertop table with metal legs made locally. Its much easier now, with a single desk, to switch between computer and the synth. Still figuring though how to add another synth :person_shrugging:

Just got my Super Gemini this week and wanted to add my 2 cents here. I’m currently putting it on the top tier of my 4-armed K&M Spider Pro, on the slightly angled arms and it’s amazing ergonomically. I also was warned this is a very “deep” synth physically but the Spider Pro handles it with ease.

I have mine on the lower level of this Z-stand, normally with my S6 on the top level. It works great and I can easily get to the top layer controls with an equally large synth on top. I was previously using an X-stand but I got annoyed that I couldn’t easily fit my legs underneath when playing.

When planning to buy the DMNO I considered replacing the Gemini with a S6 desktop. I couldn´t figure out how to fit them both. But when I had them both I noticed the DMNO fitted perfectly between the feets on the Gemini. So by raising it up and adding some low-profile wheels on both synths I can now easily move them forward and back when needed. Gemini btw is mounted on some leftovers from the countertop (admittedly a bit of a pain drilling and aligning the holes in the oak).

I’ve put my SG on the bottom tier of a jaspers rack. Shelves above it are angled.

Sharing a picture of mine, sorry for the potato quality in low light. It’s a K&M Spider Pro with an extra tier. I like putting it in the top so I can reach it standing. I did need to use a right angled USB Cable to avoid hitting the column, but you get enough width so that you can extend the arms even further if you wanted to place it on bottom and have it protrude forward you could.
