Hmmmm

Declan,

 

Do you have a picture of your studio so we can see the space issues?

 

A high shelf perhaps?

 

Cheers

 

Chris

I'm just thinking out loud at this stage but here is what I have in
mind......

 

I have a Yamaha W5 synthesizer in storage at home and I can't help feel
it is being wasted.  I will probably never sell it because there is some
sentimental value attached to it, it belonged to an old friend that
committed suicide a number of years ago.  Anyway, it is way too big to
fit in with my current setup and I even considered doing some DIY on it
to make it smaller but my DIY skills let me down on that before I even
started and even then there is no room for it.  So, what I might do in
order to re-introduce it back into my setup is to neatly punch a hole in
the wall next to my desk, on the other side is a built in wardrobe, and
place the W5 in an upright position against the wall.  The power,  audio
and midi cables can be passed through the hole and I can create a
controller interface for it using SynthEdit or something similar.

 

In theory this sounds like a simple task.  I don't imagine it will
generate a lot of heat and it will never be powered on when I am not
there but I will have to test that out.  The other obstacle of sorts is
the controller interface and how much control do I want and what are the
limitations of the SynthEdit software.  And of course I will not be
punching any holes in the wall until I get the interface working as
expected.  Is there anything else I should consider?

 

Regards,

Declan.
