- Black Panther Systems sent me a synth stand and today we are building a pretty epic synth setup. I don't know how I ended up being a synth stands reviewer, but I have done quite a few videos on stands over the years.

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 :-)
This is a post from Black Panther asking for suggestions so feel free to comment with thoughts and ideas
B, seems the easiest for you and kills less trees
I'd love to see the instructions in (A) with video & PDF on USB stick
C
B should work fine. 'Everyone' should be able to download and watch a video and PDF on the computer/mobile.
Encircled by gear, now THAT'S the way I want to work. Good stuff Bo!
I mean you do have a Wurlitzer stacked on a Rhodes so I do believe you!
@@ianflurrance8438 😂you're right, one weird tip & that's falling right on top of me
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 😃
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.
😍❤🔥🔥
Cool stand, and yes-would love to see the new studio setup when you have it ready!
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.
Cool, been on the lookout for a proper setup!
Quality as always. Your workflow looks smooth on that performace set up
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!
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 !
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)
missed you bo! great video!
Very cool 😎. Thank you so much for your demo of this stand. Very nicely done ✔ 👏. Mark Bensette Aux Bois 🇨🇦.
they take the k&m omega style... but cool . you can also take the trolley from k&m it's a great addition
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.
how did I become the synth stands guy??
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.
Glad to see you using your own music for videos now. Good job Bo!
Very nice!! Great setup!
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 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. :-)
Thank You Bo and Always Thumbs Up👍✌
Everyone needs at least one good stand right? This one is on steroids. Who needs a desk anymore! haha Great video Bo!
Nice video showing off The SynthHug™!
Nice Jam.
Looking clean Bo! ❤️
Thanks Jade ♥️ hope you are well
Bo I like how your jumper matches your rug :))
Very good. I would have mentioned set up time, that the options could be purchased separately, and how stable the stand is when playing.
Good feedback! Thank you
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.
Oh...I want it..I need it.
BADLY!!
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.
Awesome
Wish i saw this before i bought my Jaspers :( :( it’s so much better for my personal situation.
Cool stand too.
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?
I still love my vintage QuikLok 4-tier floor stands.
I just recently gave my old quiklok to charity. It has been with me for 20 years and it was time to move on
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.
Close to what I built out of 2x4
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 :)
Thanks for checking out the review
@@BoBeats For sure! Where are you originally from? I was born and raised in Germany. Also check out my channel. Got some fun videos up, too.
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?
so they told me they sell through Thomann to the US, I am not sure how it works with customs and such.
@@BoBeats thanks for the swift reply Bo, appreciate that :) - OK got it.
@@BoBeats No problem with customs to US :-)
Thomann USA, but if you want to order just a small accessory, shipping will be more expensive than the cost of the item. You need to be ordering A LOT of stuff from Thomann to make it cost-effective. I have a Cedro and I absolutely love it. The Freijo Quatro shelf is just brilliant, I have no idea why other kybd stand manufacturers don't realize we use desktop modules.
any possibility to combine the euroack in the middle?
Could you specifically mention which system (puzzle pieces) you got?
Will add this tomorrow in description
just the 2 tier unit is 300 euros with 100 shipping to the US
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 😖)
Would like to see a video where you also have the speakers placed
Didnt get the speaker stands as I have several floor stands but I will consider it
Yes, for sure, speaker holder are available also for BLACKPANTEHSYSTEM
Can you list the entire setup? How much would it cost for this exact rack?
will sort this tomorrow
Hi Bo, which mixer do you have up there? Greetings from Bavaria 🍺
Its a soundcraft epm 12. Nothing special. Works pretty well
how much for the black panther set up you have? thanks
Who else is excited to see the MPC Keys sat there?
Dropping soon then.
We need a follow up video please!
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 :)
Studio tour: yes
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
Where is your chair at 1:10 from?
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?
I use it via Maschine+ and with local control turned off. So it basically controls whatever i currently have selected via the Maschine+
@@BoBeats Got it. Thanks!
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?
Cant speak to how hard it is to ship to the states. I think they sell it via Thomann to US.
List coming soon.
@@BoBeats thank you for the list, that will be much easier to order. Wonderful video
K&M vs Black Panther vs Jaspers vs QuikLok ? Thanks!
my biggest issue with stands is cable management.
Yes! 100%
is it nicer to be hugged by your analog synths than by your digital synths?
Just what I've been looking for. Do they ship to the US?
They tell me they ship through Thomann to the US so check with Thomann what kind of customs/import charges there are if any.
@@BoBeats thank you!
Hi, is that available in sweden?
Via Thomann.de yes
What are the 3 units on the top shelf?
ik multimedia fx pedals
@@BoBeats cheers Bo
Hmm...so I guess the Jasper set up got replaced with this new one? Interesting!
Not really, i use both
Bo calling the poly brute a "thicc boi" is the asmr I didnt know I needed
my next album is me whispering synth names
@@BoBeats over suitably erotic ambient noise music I hope
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 😞
This is my secondary chair thankfully. Its not good for long hours.
Unfortunately You cannot see your fx screens because they are too high.
Gets and try new rack.
- Ok, time to revamp all the studio again
Haha!! Its been a long time coming. Its a mess here 😆
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...
No U.S. shipping - boo! I would have bought that quick
Not sold in North America :(
Think its sold via thomannmusic to the US/NA
@@BoBeats Thanks Bo! I'll check it out. Likely a big shipping fee not including duty taxes into Canada. But likely worth it for a stand of this caliber, Cheers! :)
bring back rack mounts!!! this is how it ends with desktop synths
Very similar to the K&M gear.
No, I don't think so. K&M unfortunately doesn't have the stability, flexibility and modularity, I mean. See here : th-cam.com/video/gRl1bBSNU10/w-d-xo.html
Bit pricey
$1500 for the curious
