The koala and 404mk2 integration is dope! Its not perfect but ads another layer to the fun!
I was trying to do all iOS everything, but like you said… after you are done editing and setting up its so much better to have physical gear than just the screen.
iOS is so powerful in so many ways and i love all the apps, but i keep needing actual instruments to play and learn and get a workflow down with. On iOS its just not as fun. Koala is the best example of how an app can be both fun and powerful tho
The Tx6 called my name for so many reasons, but being 12 mono/6 stereo , routing options, battery powered and portable are my main reasons. I like to work on music on the go since i travel for work, and making music in hotels, parks, coffee shops i want everything to run on batteries and be small enough for one bag. I got the TE OB4 as well. My whole studio can fit in backpack! And it often does.
404mk2/op1/tx6/ob4 is a travelers dream set up , i do have to power the 404 with a big anker battery or my rechargeables, which is the only downside. I wish it had internal battery. I’ve seen people install one inside the battery compartment but I’m not doing that I’ll just bring my anker.
My suggestion is to get the op1f, then the tx6 then the mk2! In that order. You can plug the op1f directly into your iPad with USB c for audio interface and MIDI, and directly into the mk2 for sampling back and forth….So much power in this little set up! Also too much money lol
Thank you
I'm not sure what you call the "interface".
iPpad stand/USB hub: Anker 551. It has USB-C PD for the main connection to the iPad and 2 USB-A, but I've never tried to connect an iPhone there, I just don't have such use cases. I also use Thomann's external USB hub to connect everything there and not create a mess on the table.
Audio interface/Guitar amp: Headrush MX-5
Headphones: Sony MDR-7506, classic. Pretty enough for my needs now
Finally added the iPad to my main setup. Also downsized considerably recently.

Ooo that looks like a lot of fun! Serious punch for a more self contained setup!
Is that specifically a Syntact/tablet stand? Or are there sizing options and you got one that fits?
(I'm hella curious about one for iPad/Launchpad X)
Hi @PapaBPoppin,
It really is a lot of fun. I've forgotten how capable an iPad is, so glad to add it back to my main setup.
The stand is a Headliner 2-Tier Desktop Synth Stand for $59. Got it at Perfect Circuit link here but it's available on Amazon and most music retailers. Sturdy stand, fits the Syntakt and iPad Pro 10.5" perfectly.
Oh dope thanks!
Went to check reviews for pics to see other potential options, clicked the first one and was like "Heeeeeeeey wait a second, I recognize that Syntackt" xD
Will be measuring out, but I really dig the look. might find a home here too!
[Edit: Doh dang! Looking at an additional almost 2.5" longer (and an inch wider, but thata not so much an issue)
What's the length (depth? I dunno... it kinda goes back, too. Perception is weird) of the bottom shelf, if you have a spare moment? I see width info on the site, but not maximum length of device. Visual estimation but I'm assuming that doesn't reach 10" does it? (LPX looks like 9.5" for both length and width)]
Ha ha, yeah it's a good stand so I thought I'd let potential buyers know.
Each tier has a depth of 7". And the width is adjustable from 7.3” to 11.5”.
Here's the manufacturer's webpage:
https://headliner-la.com/products/headliner-2-tier-desktop-synth-stand/
Oh! Asked and answered (well, answered as I was typing the edit, so BEOFRE It was asked)
Ok, will def NOT work for my use case, but it's out the idea in my head, so I'll definitely be looking around. Thanks so much!
Check out https://www.etsy.com/ and https://reverb.com/. Lots of stands there.
Unfortunately almost everything I've found on Etsy is 3d printed. The aluminum build of the synth stand is what really had my attention
And after a quick search on reverb, if input Launchpad X specifically, its the same 3d printed options
HOWEVER ill dig deeper into reverb and check out some other synth stands to see about a depth that'll work
And if not there, I now know its a thing and I can try to find one as more search terms pop into my head! (Aaaaand if worse comes to worse, I can ask around and see if my any of my metal working friends has a machining option available!)
Thanks for the idea and some options to check!
The only space i'm allowed to have the man cave!
I downsized when I left Netherlands for China. Arrived with just an iPad . . . . have accumulated another whole new studio since

I really like your setup - looks very functional and ergonomic. I like that
Space is tight, but the ergonomics are good. I prefer to stand when making music.
iPad off to the right is the mixing interface with some sequencing duties.
I like this setup, I tend to roll it out to the balcony in the morning and to my recliner in the evening.
That looks like an Uplift desk. I love the one I got.
I forgot the brand but it’s nice! Simple and has usb ports and i can be lazy n sit or stand up to get some energy lol
Some of the 3D printed stands are of good quality. I have two of the 3D Waves stands, and I'd rate them up there with the Headliner stand we spoke of earlier (which is steel, not aluminum, so it's quite heavy).
I use to use laptop stands and risers I bought off Amazon, so hopefully there must be something that'll work for you.
Thanks @dblonde - nice man cave!
If I had that much space for music gear I'd be in trouble!
These days I limit myself to the real estate of my desk.
I love my 3d printed stands! Just got one for the op1f, 404mk2 and digitone!
Op1f from sierra wave and the others from 3D waves
Haha you misunderstand, I have a plethora of 3d printed stands and clips for a lot of equipment and portable handhelds (mainly Etsy). And I like them a lot!
I was just looking for something with the metal design for the launchpad and tablet similar to what you showed, is all
But I appreciate the thoughtful recommend!
Edit: and I'll definitely check amazon and such, now that the concept is in my head. I was just hoping it was a company that did that style in different sizings or something
But I'll definitely have my eyes peeled
It's a great aesthetic for your desk
Need shorter USB C to USB 3 cables.
Does this count as a studio?
Have a Prologue 16/Blofeld/Hydrasynth as well but I always fall back on these three Elektron toys. Also have 100.000 iOS synths and effects.
I'm interested in the equipment. how to do connect the iPad to the Windows 10 Ableton?
@raimundoarriagada Between the laptop and the Akai Force there are 2 USB audio interfaces. One for laptop, one for iPad. Force is Sync Master, its MIDI I/O connected to 1st USB audio interface (laptop). iConnectivity Mio connected to Force USB port and to 2nd USB audio interface (iPad). apeMatrix and Ableton are Sync Slaves.
While the past few years have taught me a lot about patience, it's nice to see things get moving when the time is right
Finally got a space to setup so I don't have to keep resetting up on the back porch!!
And here's a small tease of what's to come!!
Update with minifreak
