Null Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 So here's another Earth Shattering Useless Poll. It has to do with posture. Do you sit or stand when you're playing at your keyboard? If you stand at gigs and sit at home then choose option three and post an explanation in the thread. Also, if you sit, what do you sit on? A proper piano bench? A bar stool? A drummer's throne? A kitchen chair? Enquiring minds wanna know Gary 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyS Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I sit just in case I accidently play something good. I won't get hurt when I pass out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Sometimes before I go to bed I play like this 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XW-Addict Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 It depends on a slight longer creation or practice session I mostly sit on a desk chair behind my keyboard, occasionally I'm standing behind it, The keyboard is on an adjustable stand it gives a sense of performing . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Muscara Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I sit on a piano bench. I use an artist bench at home, and a foldable bench at gigs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Null Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 I'm curious about the people who posted that they use an office chair. Do you find that the armrests get in the way at all? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I usually use an office chair, and the armrests don't bother me at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chas Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I voted standing, only because I have no room for a chair...! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Null Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 Actually right now my vote was also standing also because space constraints force me to keep the keyboards at waist height and so far I haven't been able to find a decent padded stool that gives me enough height to play from a seated position. So far I've tried a low office stool that's simply too low to play with correct posture and and cheap wooden bar stool I bought at Walmart that gives me proper height but jams up my butt like a Ginsu knife Right now I'm looking around for either a nice padded bar stool or a good quality drummer's throne to take a load off of my feet while I play and give me a little more comfort at the keys.

BobbyS Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I have a really bad back issue, so the latest thing I have done is modify my computer keyboard pullout. My desk is a U shape and the open width is perfect for the P1. I pull the computer keyboard slide out and have drilled two holes at the front edge corners to put a dowel in. This way I can have the P1 right in front of me and the P1 can't slide out because of the dowels. I can have the top of the P1 rest against the desk top, this gives it a bit of angle so it is easier to see the display on long programming sessions.. Hope this makes sense.

amaverick Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I play from my computer chair. It's much more comfortable than a piano bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyS Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 How do I post pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Null Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 How do I post pics? Use the "More Reply Options" to upload the file. and then preview the message and then copy the link location of the resulting thumbnail and then you can enclose the url in tags. use a /img inside square brackets as the closing tag. I can't show you a literal example without actually invoking the tags myself. Basically the syntax is : square bracket img close square bracket image file url square bracket /img close square bracket all without spaces and the url has to be plain text, not a hyperlink.

Null Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 BTW, for sanity's sake, scale the image to 1280 x 1024 to save us all from blowing out our margins when we click on the images. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyS Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Happyrat, those directions remind me of the XW-P1 maual LOL. I'll see what I can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Null Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Try editing a quote from a posting containing an image and see if you can figure out what I mean by reverse engineering someone else's image attachment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Null Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Scott you clever little devil you THAT'S thinking outside the box. But you forgot to expand the thumbnail Gary EDIT >>> Never mind. you fixed it with an edit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Null Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 BTW Scott, is there any chance of putting together a quick FAQ or user's manual for the forum and its functions? This is the second or third time we've had to explain media attachments in a thread and there are other features people here probably never heard of like content filtering by forum and how to turn on email notify for followed threads. There's probably other stuff we haven't even figured out how to ask for yet. Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Display Name Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 BTW Scott, is there any chance of putting together a quick FAQ or user's manual for the forum and its functions? There is a pretty useful help area built-in to the forum.. the link is kind of hidden way at the bottom of each page so here's the direct URL:http://www.casiomusicforums.com/index.php?app=core&module=help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Null Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 The help is pretty lame. I'd advise moving the link to the top of the main page. Also there is absolutely nothing in there about or tags. All in all it reads like it was written by a Casio Documentation Engineer I still think a short, well written, plain English FAQ sticky would be a thousand times more useful than that RTFM Help page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Display Name Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Also there is absolutely nothing in there about or tags. Pressing those little icons will generate the tags automatically.. which is much easier for the average user. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
