I’m looking for the right desk/table to use with my piano set up. Working with guitar is easy but have not yet found the right table set up when working with my piano. I have a Roland 2000 EX on a X shaped stand. I’m recording on Cubase/laptop with my Tascam Audio Workstation. I need a table that will allow me to play the piano while comfortably working Cubase and the Audio workstation without having to break neck and arms to reach them. I thought about the one attached but not sure it would be the right one. Any thoughts?

I’ll put it another way then. What do you folks use for the above?

Unfortunately, there is not an easy solution or a “one size fits all”. To use cubase and your workstation effectively, it is best to have your computer behind your midi keyboard so you can look at the sreen while playing. I don’t use a laptop and I have a wireless computer keyboard and mouse which helps. A have used a laptop desk before like the one you link to. They are pretty nice and adjustable. Here is a pic of my set up lol. I have a small table to the right for my mouse, and I can move the computer keyboard out of the way when I need to.
Man y thanks for your reply Mic-E-Muzic much obliged. I agree it’s quite a challenge to find the right set up. I will keep trying. Thanks again Mike
Looks like DeFi took over the Output Platform, which also seems a bit more expensive than when I purchased mine, but that’s a solid desk for the money, and not too hard to disassemble and move about when you need to.
I have a Buso Producer as well, and it’s more of a pain to assemble (plus it’s a bit pricey) but the layout is quite nice and they have a number of different models. The downside is that those take a while to ship, and they aren’t exactly “moveable” once you have them assembled and in place - you need 2 or 3 people to move them around because they’re kind of modular, and if you try to scoot one end out, it will bend the desk and stress the assembly points.
Even so, they’re pretty nice.
