Build an Epic Synthesizer Setup with BLACK PANTHER modular synth stand 

Hi Bo, great Video. The system is great arranged. And how well could the system be put together ? I would like to ask the community in what form they would like to see the assembly instructions ? A) Assembly instructions as a video and PDF on a supplied USB stick. B) Assembly instructions as video via PDF accessible via QR code on the Internet C) Assembly instructions in detail on paper ( and with a QR code ) .. thank you for your comments :-)

Encircled by gear, now THAT'S the way I want to work. Good stuff Bo!

A legit synth command center! Love it!

We all need more analog synth hugs! Thanks Bo. Great as always!

Synth hugs are always welcome . I really like this setup thank you for a great review Bo love the blips and bloops 😃

Love the whole design of the stand .... you can see all the features of the top panel of the gear. And yes I would like to see the new studio setup.

It does look a sturdy and well thought out piece of kit and anything that allows you to be hugged by synths is a plus for me. Loving the blippity bloops at the end. An informative video. Any video's you do are welcome so yup to new studio set-up. Your presentation is always immaculate. Cheers Bo. 😍❤🔥🔥

Very cool 😎. Thank you so much for your demo of this stand. Very nicely done ✔ 👏. Mark Bensette Aux Bois 🇨🇦.

Here's what I did to make a pretty original synth stand: I grabbed a TV stand someone tossed, the one that has like 3 long glass tiers. I put it on caster wheels, and then I used metal screws to attach the 3-tiered, adjustable, folding synth rack to it from the back, right to the metal supports of the 3rd tier. It looks like it always belonged there. It's possible to fit 6 keyed synths on it. Or 5 keyboard synths and and leave 1 rack for desktop synths, grooveboxes/samplers/drum machines. I ought to make a video about it soon. One observation I made on your rack is that I would have a real issue with the way the Matriarch is placed, because it appears one needs to stretch one's arms forward in order to play around with control knobs. Elbows aren't resting, - they hang in the air, which puts too much strain on my back. This is the issue I had with some of the previous synth racks, why I had to return them and resort to a DIY like that.

Cool stand, and yes-would love to see the new studio setup when you have it ready!

This is pretty cool. I achieved a similar setup with the gear on the sides via the K&M Omega system (w/ 18815 Laptop Holder)

That stand is lovely. In a different world (where I have more money lol) I would definitely use this for my set up. Considering the hardware collection I have it would be totally perfect.

they take the k&m omega style... but cool . you can also take the trolley from k&m it's a great addition

Oh wow, this is exactly what I was looking for. At the moment, I have an assortment of note sheet stands for my desktop synths and mixers, and it's not ideal. It's a bit difficult to parse which parts I need to buy, though. Will need to look up their web page... Thanks for this video once again. :-)

how did I become the synth stands guy??

Everyone needs at least one good stand right? This one is on steroids. Who needs a desk anymore! haha Great video Bo!

missed you bo! great video!

Loved the presentation! Any synth stand setup is welcome... it's rather undervalued I believe and the more options are presented, the better we may end up setting our toys up!

Cool, been on the lookout for a proper setup!

Nice video showing off The SynthHug™!

Wow. I really appreciate you making videos about synth stands. I'm constantly tweaking mine, which I built/found/duck taped together. I think about it more than I probably should

Nice demo, very inspiring stuff !

Bo I like how your jumper matches your rug :))

Quality as always. Your workflow looks smooth on that performace set up

Thank You Bo and Always Thumbs Up👍✌

A setup like this would be pretty awesome. Definitely a huge improvement compared to my folding table with cheap laptop stands. I hope someday I can upgrade.

Oh...I want it..I need it. BADLY!!

Cool stand too.

Glad to see you using your own music for videos now. Good job Bo!

Very good. I would have mentioned set up time, that the options could be purchased separately, and how stable the stand is when playing.

Looking clean Bo! ❤️

This is the one keyboard stand to invest in for the workspace. The only thing I see would be a bit better with Jaspers stands could possible be that they can hold many synths for a storage solution. But I would never think of using Jaspers stands for an ergonomic solution. And also this is the only keyboard-stand i would trust for my expensive machines to stand safe on.

Wish i saw this before i bought my Jaspers :( :( it’s so much better for my personal situation.

I still love my vintage QuikLok 4-tier floor stands.

Nice Jam.

Awesome

Could you specifically mention which system (puzzle pieces) you got?

just the 2 tier unit is 300 euros with 100 shipping to the US

is it nicer to be hugged by your analog synths than by your digital synths?

My main issue with omega stand from k&m is the third tier is not wide enough. Sometime one needs to just put gear which doesn’t need to be hit at all and doesn’t have much weight.

I was lucky enough to meet them at NAMM this year. Great people, great product, fair review by you! I am thinking of ordering my. There is one distributor that has reasonable prices here in the US. G.A.S. strikes again :)

Very nice!! Great setup!

Hi Bo, which mixer do you have up there? Greetings from Bavaria 🍺

Please can you help I was thinking about the Black Panther stand I have the same stand in K&M but mine moves up and down when playing hard which I can not stand that feeling please how solid does it feel also I read something yesterday May 13th 2023 I do not understand > > Another drawback: the non-adjustable gap between the two bars supporting the upper keyboard. Most keyboards rest on four small end pieces which, in this case, can only take their seat on the stand bars for two of them, which threatens the keyboard , Thank you I would love your input I would be grateful. All The Best Joe

Close to what I built out of 2x4

Wow 😯 Now that is quite the setup, similar to how Jeff Mills has his synths set up, but you use stands and a chair (he has a video where kneeling with his synth set up on a carpet, which has to be murder on the knees 😖)

At first, it looked like a k&m upgrade with those side arms… but it s some other brand. Pity. Since i bave the k&m stand and i would like those extra side building option since there is never enough space :)

Can you list the entire setup? How much would it cost for this exact rack?

how much for the black panther set up you have? thanks

No U.S. shipping - boo! I would have bought that quick

Gets and try new rack. - Ok, time to revamp all the studio again

We need a follow up video please!

Where is your chair at 1:10 from?

my biggest issue with stands is cable management.

Who else is excited to see the MPC Keys sat there? Dropping soon then.

any possibility to combine the euroack in the middle?

K&M vs Black Panther vs Jaspers vs QuikLok ? Thanks!

How did you set up the Polybrute to control the other synths? Does it switch seamlessly or do you have to reroute some MIDI or reconfigure in Arturia's MIDI Control Centre?

Curious if you could adjust it so you could stand and play instead of sitting? My back is averse to sitting for long periods. Also having locking wheels would be more practical- although I can understand how that would affect stability.

Hi Bo, great video (like usual ;o) ). I would highly appreciate a new Studio Tour once you`re done. If I could have another whish I would love to understand how you`re working/liking your mixer setup with the StudioLive as I need to reduce my space by 2/3 and therefore looking for "inspiration" or advice to manage the remaining portion of my synths (but still with +32 channels needed). Maybe you can create another (update)video about the workflow with big amout of channel counts and/or possible benefits between Mixer vs larger scale interface?

Studio tour: yes

Just what I've been looking for. Do they ship to the US?

Bo calling the poly brute a "thicc boi" is the asmr I didnt know I needed

Hmm...so I guess the Jasper set up got replaced with this new one? Interesting!

Hi, Can you post a list of all the parts for this setup? Was not clear what would need to buy on site, like the side arms and trays are separate? Also, how hard to ship to The states?

I'm shopping around for stands so great video, thanks! I'll definitely watch for your next studio setup video as well :) Does Black Panther deliver in the US?

Unfortunately You cannot see your fx screens because they are too high.

Nice stand, wow I like it, but a Swiss Ball it will nice instead of a chair, is better for your back.😁 unfortunately this stand is a little bit pricey 😞

Hi, is that available in sweden?

What are the 3 units on the top shelf?

Ho BO..I think it's taking up too much room, so like some others told me, just keep a laptop. Then you can send me the rest to my house. Great gear...

bring back rack mounts!!! this is how it ends with desktop synths

Not sold in North America :(

Very similar to the K&M gear.

Yea if you want to spend over $1,000 for a stand. I have one just a bit better, same amount of shelves, I got it for $75. And I don't have a giant piece of wood on it. Yea it was a steal, but no way am I getting anything from Black Panther.

Bit pricey

$1500 for the curious
